The average water temperature of -3 ° C and the reason why the lake was still liquid below freezing is the influence of high pressure from the weight of ice on top.
The scientists also discovered that the ice core may be 420 000 years old, which means that the lake is covered for more than 500,000.
3. Caspian Sea (Azerbaijan, Iran, Kazakhstan, Russia, Turkmenistan)
