Woytchugga Lacuna is one of the largest lakes of Titan.
It is located at 68°53′
N and 109°00′
W
[1] on
Titan's surface and at 449
km in length it is the longest
Titanean lake and third longest body of a number of "
hydro-carbon
lakes" found on
Saturn's largest moon". The lake is composed of
liquid
ethane and
methane,
[2] and was detected by the
Cassini–Huygens
space probe.
Indications are that it is an intermittent lake and so was named in 2013 after
Lake Woytchugga near
Wilcannia,
Australia.
