The area is measured from the outline drawn above, on the WGS84 ellipsoid; the published figure is shown beside it, and a water body is kept only if the two are within 10%. This one is between 5% and 10% apart, so it is flagged and no comparison is built for it automatically.

What the numbers say about Topozero

• The Caspian Sea (called a sea or a lake, depending on the definition), the largest of the 104 lakes ranked on sizeversus, is 365× the size of Topozero; Topozero ranks 96th.
• Topozero sits between O'Higgins/San Martín Lake (1,050 km²) and Lake Chapala (1,030 km²) in the ranking.
• Counted as a country, Topozero would be larger than 35 of the 212 countries listed on sizeversus and would rank 178th by area, between the Comoros (1,670 km²) and São Tomé and Príncipe (1,040 km²).
• It is larger than 1 of the 51 US states and districts (the biggest of them is Washington, D.C., 162 km²) and smaller than 50.
• It is smaller than every one of the 31 provinces and regions of China.
• The closest US state is Rhode Island (2,830 km²): Topozero is 37% of the size of Rhode Island.
• Wikidata records a greatest depth of 56 m; with its volume that gives an average depth of about 15 m.
• Wikidata records a volume of 16 km³. Poured over São Tomé and Príncipe (1,040 km²), that water would stand 15 m deep.
• Its surface lies about 109 m above sea level (Wikidata).
• On a standard web map (Web Mercator), a place at 66°N is drawn about 5.9× too large in area, so Topozero looks bigger there than it is.
• Laid out flat, Topozero stretches about 59 km north to south and 58 km east to west.
• Our measured 1,040 km² is 5.5% above Wikidata’s published figure of 986 km². This difference is flagged for review: a lake’s outline may include islands or bays that the published figure leaves out, or the water level may differ. The outline is kept because it is within 10%, and this page is not matched automatically to any other.

• Russia

Natural Earth’s outlines of Russia contain or lie within 4 km of the outline of Topozero. That is what its geometry says, and it is not a statement about who owns the water or where any border runs in it.
