Caspian Sea
Inland salt lake between Europe and Asia, bordering Azerbaijan, Russia, Kazakhstan, and Iran. With a basin 750 mi (1,200 km) long and up to 200 mi (320 km) wide and an area of 149,200 sq mi (386,400 sq km), it is the largest inland body of water in the world. Though it receives many rivers, including the volga-river, ural-river, and kura-river, the sea itself has no outlet. It was important as a commercial route in the premodern era, when it formed part of the Mongol-Baltic trade route for goods from Asia. It is now a major source of petroleum. Its numerous ports include Baku in Azerbaijan and Bandar-e Anzali and Bandar-e Torkaman in Iran.
The largest enclosed body of water in the world is the Caspian Sea, located between Europe and Asia. It is technically a lake due to its lack of a direct connection to the world's oceans.
