minus-squareNielsBohron@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up49arrow-down2·edit-27 days agoThis map bothers me as they omit Lake Tahoe, which is higher than Baikal (~6,200 ft) and deeper than everything except Baikal (~1,600 ft deep) What’s the point of including all that empty space between Baikal and Titicaca when there’s a world renowned lake that would be great to include
