Great Lake

The Great Lake was a large lake in Arda during the time of the Two Lamps.

It was located in the middle of Arda between the two great lamp towers Helcar and Ringil. Presumably rather large in size, it was the location of the island of Almaren, the first dwelling of the Valar in Arda which stood in the very middle of the Great Lake. The Great Lake was scuttled and destroyed after Melkor threw down the Two Lamps.
