Lake Skadar ((アルバニア語:Liqeni i Shkodrës), ; Montenegrin and Serbian: Скадарско језеро, ''Skadarsko jezero'', ) — also called Lake Scutari, Lake Shkodër and Lake Shkodra — lies on the border of Albania and Montenegro, the largest lake in the Balkan Peninsula. It is named after the city of Shkodër in northern Albania ((アルバニア語:Shkodër ''or'' Shkodra), Serbian: Скадар, ''Skadar'', (イタリア語:Scutari)). It is a karst lake. == Geography == Skadar Lake is the largest lake in the Balkan Peninsula with a surface area that seasonally fluctuates between to .〔 Skadar Lake itself is located on the western Balkan with approximately two-third () of its surface belonging to Montenegro and about one-third () to Albania.〔 The lake’s water level also varies seasonally from 4.7 to 9.8 m above sea level.〔 The lake extends in the NW-SE direction, and it is approximately 44 km long.〔 The Bojana River connects the lake with the Adriatic Sea, and the Drin River provides a link with the Ohrid Lake.〔 The lake is a cryptodepression, filled by the river Morača and drained into the Adriatic by the long Bojana (Albanian: Buna), which forms the international border on the lower half of its length. The largest inflow is from the Morača, which provides about 62% of the lake’s water.〔 Total drainage area is 5490 km2.〔 There are additionally some fresh water sources at the lake bottom. A characteristic feature of Lake Skadar’s water balance is the high inflow from a number of temporary and permanent karstic springs, some of which are sublacustrine in cryptodepressians (so called ‘oko’).〔 The Southern and southwestern sides of the lake are rocky, barren and steep, having bays in which the sublacustrine springs, are usually to be found.〔 On the northern side there is an enormous inundated area, the boundaries of which change as water levels fluctuate.〔 Some small islands like Beška, with two churches on it and Grmožur, a former fortress and prison can be found on the southwest side of the lake. The climate type is hot-summer Mediterranean climate with dry summers (Csa), under Köppen climate classification.〔 The Montenegrin part of the lake and its surrounding area were declared a national park in 1983. The Albanian part has been designated as a Managed Nature Reserve. In 1996, by Ramsar Convention on Wetlands, it was included in the Ramsar list of wetlands of international importance. Near the mouth of Rijeka Crnojevića, below the surface of the water there is a well preserved wreck of the steamboat Skanderbeg sank by Partisans in 1942, during the Second World War.
