Deki---KG August 23rd, 2009, 12:51 AM Skadar(Serbian)/Shkodër(Albanian) Lake in Montenegro & Albania (Largest Lake of Balkan / South-Eastern Europe)
Its surface, 6 m (20 ft) above sea level, can vary between 370 km2 (142.9 sq mi) and 530 km2 (204.6 sq mi), of which 2/3 is in Montenegro. The lake is a cryptodepression, filled by the Morača River and drained into the Adriatic by the 41 km (25 mi) long Bojana River, which forms the international border on the lower half of its length.
The Montenegrin part of the lake and its surrounding area were declared a national park in 1983. It is one of the largest bird reserves in Europe.

Nahuel Huapi Lake, Rio Negro, Argentina
557 km²
Shore length 222 mi (357 km)
depth 1,439 ft (439 m)
A curious fact about the lake is that, despite being nowhere near any ocean and being at high altitude, it is also home for Kelp Gull and the Blue Eyed Cormorant (Phalacrocorax atriceps), otherwise strictly marine birds.
This breathtaking lake harbors several species of trout including rainbow trout, brown trout and brook trout which attract anglers from the world over.
