- dmix 4y agoThe linked website is outdated (the maps should be a signal) the last Lake in the list doesn't exist anymore > Up until the 2020 eruption of Taal Volcano there was a crater lake on Volcano Island. It was known as Yellow Lake and Main Crater Lake and contained its own small island, Vulcan Point. Vulcan Point was thought to be one of few third-order islands in the world. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taal_Lake?wprov=sfti1 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taal_Lake?wprov=sfti1

- adamgordonbell 4y agoOh ok, My bad! The wild thing to me is the picture on wikipedia shows its not a small island. All the nesting made me think it would be quite small.
- wlonkly 4y agoThe trick there is that Manitoulin Island (the island whose lake Mindemoya is an island in) is the largest freshwater island in the world.
