Lake Timsah

Lake Timsah, also known as Crocodile Lake, is a lake in Egypt on the Nile delta. It lies in a basin developed along a fault extending from the Mediterranean Sea to the Gulf of Suez through the Bitter Lakes region. In 1800, a flood filled the Wadi Tumilat, which caused Timsah's banks to overflow and moved water south into the Bitter Lakes about nine miles (14 km) away.〔Hoffmeier, p.43〕 In 1862, the lake was filled with waters from the Red Sea.〔Stanley, p.32〕
==Geography==
Lake Timsah lies within a depression that spans the isthmus between the Red Sea and the Mediterranean Sea. The lowest points of the depression form shallow natural lakes, of which Timsah is one.〔 The surface area of Lake Timsah covers 5.4 square miles.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Ismailia ) Most of the lake is marshy and depth rarely exceeds 3 feet (1 meter).
It has been asserted that, in ancient times, Lake Timsah was the northern terminus of the Red Sea.〔''The Columbia Encyclopedia'', Sixth Edition, s.v. ("Suez Canal" ). Accessed 14 May 2008.〕〔Naville, Édouard. "Map of the Wadi Tumilat" (plate image), in ''The Store-City of Pithom and the Route of the Exodus'' (1885). London: Trubner and Company.〕
March 4, 1863, the city of Ismailia, named in honor of the viceroy Ismail Pasha, arose on Lake Timsah's northern bank.〔Nourse, p.54〕 Several beaches overlook the lake, including the Moslem Youth, Fayrouz, Melaha, Bahary, Taawen, and a few Suez Canal Authority beaches.〔
