Sinker Lake

Sinker Lake occupied the northern edge of the Skullcup mining camp on Otataral Island in Seven Cities. Located past the camp's main Work Road, it was a deep pool of turquoise water that stretched all the way to the base of the cliffs on the pit's northern border.Deadhouse Gates, Chapter 3, US HC p.82
The lake was believed to be cursed and that jumping in was to disappear. According to Heboric, the lack of buoyancy was due to the water being lime-saturated.Deadhouse Gates, Chapter 3, UK MMPB p.121
==In Deadhouse Gates==
Felisin Paran, Heboric, and Baudin were brought to the Skullcup camp in 1163BS as part of The Cull that enslaved Malazan nobles and political prisoners. During their imprisonment, Baudin searched the lake for a means of exiting the camp. When the Whirlwind Uprising took hold of the camp, Baudin, Heboric and Felisin used bladders filled with air to reach caves in the northern cliff via a tunnel below the lake's surface that led to freedom in the desert above.Deadhouse Gates, Chapter 3Deadhouse Gates, Chapter 6
