Pond versus Lake



   Hi
   Was watching a nature program on TV about collapsed volcano craters that
fill with rainwater in the S. Pacific. They used the term "Lake" to describe 
them.
  Never heard a lake described as a body of freshwater completely surrounded 
by
seawater..Of course "pond " would be ridiculous lol. Think they need to coin 
a new word for that situation. Lake usually applies to the  size of the body 
of water rather
than it's composition..Though there is the Salt Lake  and Dead Sea  while the
Great Lakes certainly push size definitions.lol
