Underground lake
Subterranean isle on one of the 22 lakes in Križna Cave
An underground lake or a subterranean lake is a lake under the surface of the Earth's crust. Such a lake may be associated with caves, aquifers, or springs. They are typically very low in salinity.
The largest non-subglacial underground lake in the world is Dragon's Breath Cave, Namibia, with an area of almost 2 hectares (5 acres).[1]
