It is a landlocked endorheic body of water and lies between Asia and Europe. It has a maximum depth of about .

Lakes of Titan
During a "Cassini" flyby in late February 2007, radar and camera observations revealed several large features in the north polar region interpreted as large expanses of liquid methane and/or ethane, including one, Ligeia Mare, with an area of 126,000 km (48,649 sq. mi.) ( (slightly larger than Lake Michigan–Huron, the largest freshwater lake on Earth), and another, Kraken Mare, that would later prove to be three times that size. A flyby of Titan's southern polar regions in October 2007 revealed similar, though far smaller, lakelike features.
