More on Caspian Sea
Description from Wikipedia:
The Caspian Sea (Russian: Каспийское море) is the largest enclosed body of water on Earth by area, variously classed as the world's largest lake or a full-fledged sea. It has a surface area of 371,000 square kilometers (143,244 sq mi) and a volume of 78,200 cubic kilometers (18,761 cu mi). It is an endorheic basin (it has no outflows), and is bound by northern Iran, southern Russia, western Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan, and eastern Azerbaijan. It has a maximum depth of about 1,025 meters (3,363 ft).
It was perceived as an ocean by its ancient coastal inhabitants, presumably because of its saltiness and seeming boundlessness. It has a salinity of approximately 1.2%, about a third the salinity of most seawater. According to Strabo, it is named after an ancient people called Kashyapas (Sanskrit) . Caspian is called Qazvin قزوين or بحر قزوين on ancient maps. In Iran, it is sometimes referred to as Daryâ-ye Mâzandarân or دریای مازندران.
