Žeimenys
Lake Žeimenys ( Lithuanian: alga) is a lake located in the district municipality of Švenčionys (it marks the administrative boundary between Vilnius and Utena counties) in northeastern Lithuania. The lake is near Kaltanėnai, in the Aukštaitija National Park. The lake is very long and narrow, reminiscent of the shape of a river: as evidence of this, the size is 12 km in length, larger thus than any other lake in Lithuania, and 1.6 km in width (some consider it by this size to be on a par with a river). There are two busy bays for fishing in the northern part, bordering east and west. The maximum depth of the lake is 23.5 m. Coniferous forests surround it. There are as many as 14 islands whose total area covers 8.3 hectares. The seabed is essentially composed of sand, gravel, and mud (the latter is present on 90% of the coastline). The coastal vegetation consists mainly of plants that are adapted to marshy climates. The transparency of the water in summer is such that visi ...

Lake Lūšiai
A lake is often a naturally occurring, relatively large and fixed body of water on or near the Earth's surface. It is localized in a basin or interconnected basins surrounded by dry land. Lakes lie completely on land and are separate from the ocean, although they may be connected with the ocean by rivers. Lakes, as with other bodies of water, are part of the water cycle, the processes by which water moves around the Earth. Most lakes are fresh water and account for almost all the world's surface freshwater, but some are salt lakes with salinities even higher than that of seawater. Lakes vary significantly in surface area and volume of water. Lakes are typically larger and deeper than ponds, which are also water-filled basins on land, although there are no official definitions or scientific criteria distinguishing the two. Lakes are also distinct from lagoons, which are generally shallow tidal pools dammed by sandbars or other material at coastal regions of oceans or large la ...
