Talk:List of lakes by depth

message: Wouldn't the use of Oceania (or less broadly Australasia) be more appropriate for the list of continents? This would of course vault Hauroko to the top position. Parodygm 14:59, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

message: Salsvatn in Norway is 464m by the most conservative measurement. This would place it 17. on this list.Inge 11:45, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Error in list? 

message: I agree that the use of Oceania is more sensible than Australia, especially because in the list of lakes by depth, Haurako is colour-coded as being on the Australian continent, which of course it isn't. This creates ambiguity when in one list New Zealand is classed as being on the Australian continent, yet not on the other list.

replies: text: I disagree: the problem is that Oceania is not a continent, it is a very vaguely defined geopolitical term unrelated to actual continental plates. And exactly which of the vague and conflicting definitions you use matters, because in some definitions Indonesia's South Sulawesi province (which is on the Oceanian side of the Wallace Line) is included, and the Sulawesian Lake Matano is very much deeper than New Zealand's Lake Hauroko. If you wish to stick to the conventional continents, then Australia is a continent, Indonesia is part of Asia, and New Zealand is a large off-shore island not part of any continent (sorry.) If we want to be more scientific, then New Zealand's North Island is part of the Australian tectonic plate, but South Island (on which we find Hauroko) is a different tectonic plate, the Pacific plate. -- Securiger (talk) 07:36, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

message: These are some other deep lakes that could be added to the list after some further research. I've only included lakes deeper than 50 m, as a proper ranking of shallower lakes seems unlikely. I've also included some basic placeholder elements, for ease of copy-and-paste techniques. Rupert Clayton 20:23, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Other deep lakes (not yet ranked)

message: Given that sources refer to Lake O'Higgins/San Martin as having a maximum depth of 836 m, it would be useful to have additional references and statistical information on the world's 5th deepest lake.  I have not been able to find information on it's average depth and volume, for example.  Because of it's relatively large surface area and complex shorline, I suspect that the average depth of Lake O'Higgins/San Martin would be less than the 350m established for Crater Lake, in Oregon. --Pkrnger (talk) 15:52, 25 November 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Lake O'Higgins/San Martin 

message: At the present time, based on a comparison of average depths among the deepest lakes of the world, Crater Lake, OR is the deepest lake in the Western Hemisphere, and it ranks as the third deepest in the world ().  Lakes Baikal and Tanganyika remain in first and second place, however.--Pkrnger (talk) 15:55, 25 November 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  A comparison of deepest lakes based on average depths 

message: We have what, off-pink ( #FFCCFF )  and off-salmon ( #FFCBCB )?  Europa and Asia are very hard to tell apart at a glance, and ideally that is what you want when you color code things.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Aapold (talk • contribs) 02:07, 10 April 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: All due respect to whoever created the table in current shape/info; however, I would rather prefer "the region" start with the continent and make it sortable.  Any or table info is better than mere color coding. I hope you would agree. Сенко (talk) 17:33, 17 August 2013 (UTC)
thread_title: Choice of colors for continents

message: Bushman's Hole and Pozzo Del Merro, natural holes that reach around or beyond 1000 feet deep, both have mean depths that would be included on the list, but only if you ignore the rocks that are in the way before they widen out again.  They are also ponds, not lakes, but that's more subjective.  Still, having mean depths that are probably well over 500 feet probably deserves an honorable mention.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.85.30.115 (talk) 10:56, 2 October 2014 (UTC)
