The Caspian Sea is the world's largest inland body of water, often described as the world's largest lake.

It lies between Europe and Asia; east of the Caucasus, west of the broad steppe of Central Asia.

It has a surface area of 372,000 km2 (144,000 sq mi) and covers an area larger than Germany.

It has a salinity of approximately 1.2%, about a third of the salinity of average seawater.

It is bounded by Kazakhstan to the northeast, Russia to the northwest, Azerbaijan to the southwest, Iran to the south, and Turkmenistan to the southeast.

The sea stretches 1,200 km (750 mi) from north to south, with an average width of 320 km (200 mi).

Its gross coverage is 386,400 km2 (149,200 sq mi) and the surface is about 27 m (89 ft) below sea level.

Over 130 rivers provide inflow to the Caspian, the Volga River being the largest. it has no natural outflow other than by evaporation.

The seabed in the south reaches 1,023 m (3,356 ft) below sea level, which is the second-lowest natural non-oceanic depression on Earth after Lake Baikal.

With a surface area of 371,000 square kilometres (143,000 sq mi), the Caspian Sea is nearly five times as big as Lake Superior (82,000 square kilometres (32,000 sq mi)).

The Caspian Sea is home to a wide range of species and is famous for its caviar and oil industries.

The lake's name stems from Caspi, an ancient people who lived to the southwest of the sea in Transcaucasia.
