Lake Van (Turkish: Van Gölü, Armenian: Վանա լիճ) is the largest lake in Turkey, in the far east of the country.
Akdamar Island is in this lake. Although Lake Van is at 1,640 m (5,380 ft) altitude with harsh winters, it does not freeze because it is very salty, except occasionally the shallow northern section.[1]
