This map bothers me as they omit Lake Tahoe, which is higher than Baikal (~6,200 ft) and deeper than everything except Baikal (~1,600 ft deep)

What's the point of including all that empty space between Baikal and Titicaca when there's a world renowned lake that would be great to include

This was originally just a map of the Great Lakes system. Someone added Baikal and Titicaca to it later for comparison.

The map makes absolutely no sense to 97% of the planet and that's what bothers you? 😂

TIL! Maybe Crater Lake too.

Crater Lake, Lake Tahoe, and Lake Chelan.

So you’re saying it’s not really special. Not the highest, not the deepest?

Sure. Throw it in!
