By area it is the Caspian Sea. However, it is a saltwater lake and the largest freshwater lake in terms of surface area is Lake Superior. By depth and volume of water, Lake Baikal is by far the largest. It is freshwater and was formed as a result of a tectonic fault failing to develop completely and filling with water. http://geology.com/records/largest-lake.shtml The salty Caspian Sea is the world's largest land-locked body of water. It contains approximately 18,900 cubic miles of water (78,700 cubic kilometers). Lake Baikal is the world's largest freshwater lake in terms of volume. It contains about 5521 cubic miles of water (23,000 cubic kilometers), or approximately 20% of Earth's fresh surface water. This is a volume of water approximately equivalent to all five of the North American Great Lakes combined. The salty Caspian Sea has the greatest surface area of any lake at 143,200 square miles (370,886 square kilometers). Lake Superior, on the United States/Canada border is the freshwater lake with the greatest surface area at 31,700 square miles (82,103 square kilometers).

It is largest in both surface area 31,700 square miles (82,103 square kilometers) and in volume of water 2904 cubic miles (12,100 cubic kilometers). [Added reference - McG] Feb 07 01, 8:31 PM
