Bolsena Lacus is one of a number of hydrocarbon lakes found on Saturn's largest moon, Titan .[1] [2]
Bolsena Lacus is located near the north pole of Titan, centered on latitude 75.75°N and longitude 10.28°W , and measures 101 km in length.[2] [note 1] It is situated in a north polar region where the majority of Titan's large lakes are found.
The lake is composed of liquid methane and ethane ,[3] and was detected by the Cassini space probe . It was named in 2007 after Lake Bolsena in Italy .[2]
^ a b The USGS web site gives the size as a "diameter", but it is actually the length in the longest dimension.
