How much more water does Lake Baikal have in it than does Lake Superior?

I don't know but I recall reading that Lake Baikal is so deep that the water of all the Great Lakes of America still wouldn't be enough to fill it up. Feb 28 04, 8:42 AM

Lake Baikal contains around 23,600 cubic kilometres of water. Lake Superior contains around 12,100 cubic kilometres of water. Baikal therefore contains around 11,500 more cubic kilometres of water than Superior and is nearly double the size. Several sites refer to the fact that the volume of Baikal is approximately the same as, or slightly more than, all of the great lakes put together. http://www.baikal.eastsib.ru/baikalfacts/ http://www.great-lakes.net/teach/chat/answers/101600_large.html http://www.greenworld-charity.org/animals/wildlife/ Mar 02 04, 4:32 PM
