97% of Titan's lakes have been found within a bright unit of terrain covering about 900 by 1,800 kilometers (560 by 1,120 mi) near the north pole. The lakes found here have very distinctive shapes—rounded complex silhouettes and steep sides—suggesting deformation of the crust created fissures that could be filled up with liquid.
Radar measurements made in July 2009 and January 2010 indicate an average depth of 0.4 – 3.2 m, and a maximum depth of 2.9 – 7.4 m. [5] This gives the lake an estimated volume of 7 to 50 km 3, less than one thirtieth the volume of Earth's Lake Ontario. The notoriously shallow Lake Okeechobee in Florida has a similar depth.
Woytchugga Lacuna is one of the largest lakes of Titan.. It is located at 68°53′ N and 109°00′ W [1] on Titan's surface and at 449 km in length it is the longest Titanean lake and third longest body of a number of "hydro-carbon lakes" found on Saturn's largest moon". [2]
Müggel Lacus is one of a number of hydrocarbon seas and lakes found on Saturn's largest moon, Titan. [1]The lake is located at latitude 84.44°N and longitude 203.5° W on Titan's globe, [2] and is composed of liquid methane and ethane, [3] With a diameter of 170 km, it is the fifth largest of Titan's named lakes.
The Titan Lake In-situ Sampling Propelled Explorer (TALISE) was a conceptual design study for a Spanish lander mission envisioned to splash down and navigate across Ligeia Mare. [17] In 2015, the NASA Innovative Advanced Concepts program (NIAC) awarded a Phase II grant [18] to a design study of a submarine to explore the seas of Titan. [19]
Albano Lacus is one of a number of hydrocarbon lakes found on Saturn's largest moon, Titan. [1] The lake is composed of liquid methane and ethane, [2] and was detected by the Cassini space probe. The lake is 6.2 kilometres (3.9 mi) long. The lake is named after Lake Albano in Italy, and the word "lacus" means lake.

Mackay Lacus is the seventh largest of a number of hydrocarbon seas and lakes found on Saturn's largest moon, Titan. The lake is composed of liquid methane and ethane, [1] and was detected by the Cassini space probe. Mackay Lacus is located at the coordinates 78.32°N and 97.53°W on Titan's globe and is 180 km in length.
