We just learned about Lake Issyk-Kul in Kyrgyzstan.
The next biggest lake is Lake Urmia in Iran.
This lake used to be the largest lake in the middle east in Asia, but because of dams that blocked off the rivers feeding it and the water being used up, it is now 10 times smaller than it was.

There is an interesting small island on the lake called The Fist of Osman.
