W…where’s the hidden Saddam Hussein‽
The internet has ruined me to the point I’m looking for either Saddam or Loss.
Why is lake Baikal the only one with measurements in meters?
Feels like the map maker made a half-hearted attempt and just gave up after the first one.Who builds a lake on a cliff?
Why bother making this at all if it’s not to scale? Sure, nobody expects the horizontal scale to be the same as the vertical scale. Vertical exaggeration is common when displaying profiles or cross sections, but those are generally still considered to be at a particular scale. But, if the vertical scale isn’t consistent, then what even is the point of the graphic? Just list some numbers in a table. Putting this in graphical form without a consistent scale is just lying and lazy.
You don’t seem too enthusiastic about this map.
No metric either, and only 2 non-american lakes.
The world doesn’t only revolve around the rest of the world you know!
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
The map makes absolutely no sense to 97% of the planet and that’s what bothers you? 😂
This was originally just a map of the Great Lakes system. Someone added Baikal and Titicaca to it later for comparison.
So you’re saying it’s not really special. Not the highest, not the deepest?
Sure. Throw it in!
