Nakuru Lacuna is the largest intermittent lake on Titan.[1]
It is located at 65.81°N and 94°W[2] on Titan's surface and is 175 km in length. The lake is composed of liquid ethane and methane,[3] and was detected by the Cassini–Huygens space probe.
Indications are that it is an intermittent lake and so was named in 2013[4] after the Lake Nakuru, Kenya.[5] It is the sixth largest body of liquid hydrocarbon on Titan.
