This image is the extract of a larger panoramic view of Titan obtained by Cassini's radar instrument during a near-polar flyby on 22 February 2007, and shows the largest lakes observed by Cassini’s radar to date.
The largest lake – at least 100 000 square kilometers - covers a greater fraction of Titan (0.12 percent of its surface) than the largest terrestrial inland sea, the Black Sea (0.085 percent of the Earth’s surface).
