Some people call it a sea, while others call it a lake. In ancient times, people thought it was an ocean! One thing’s for sure: the Caspian Sea is the largest enclosed body of water on Earth. It is 371,000 km2 and it borders five countries: Kazakhstan, Russia, Azerbaijan, Iran and Turkmenistan. The northern part of the lake is about 6 m deep. The southern end is more than 1,000 m. It is the world’s largest lake, but it is not a freshwater lake. So, what exactly is the Caspian Sea? The Caspian Sea is not connected with an ocean which makes it like a lake. However, it is very big and its water is salty– which makes it like a sea. 130 rivers flow into the lake. As there are no outlets, the Caspian Sea loses water only through evaporation1. This makes its brackish water even saltier. The Caspian Sea is an amazing natural attraction with a huge variety of wildlife. It is home to the Caspian seal, the Caspian turtle and 90% of the world’s sturgeons, including the beluga. This is the fish that produces caviar. Caviar is the eggs of the sturgeon.
