Windermere or Lake Windermere [a] is a ribbon lake in Cumbria, England, and part of the Lake District. [5] It is the largest lake in England by length, area, and volume, but considerably smaller than the largest Scottish lochs and Northern Irish loughs .
The map shows the locations of the lakes with a volume over 4 x 10 6 m³ and gives an indication of the volume of water in each lake. The markers suggest this by showing the size of a drop of water where the volume of the drop would be in proportion to the quantity of water in the lake (the diameter of the drop is proportional to the cube root of the lake's volume).
The volume of a lake is a difficult quantity to measure. [1] Generally, the volume must be inferred from bathymetric data by integration . Lake volumes can also change dramatically over time and during the year, especially for salt lakes in arid climates.
The longest ice skating trail can be found on the Lake Windermere Whiteway. The naturally frozen trail measures 29.98 kilometres (18.63 mi). [4] When Guinness Book of World Records verified the record in 2014, the ice measured between 12 inches (30 cm) and 30 inches (76 cm) depending where you were in one of the four loops that runs continuously around the lake.
