Neagh Lacus

Neagh Lacus is one of a number of hydrocarbon lakes found on Saturn's largest moon, Titan. The lake is composed of liquid methane and ethane, and was detected by the Cassini space probe.

The lacus is located at coordinates 81.11°N and 32.16°W on Titan's globe, in a region close to the north pole where most of Titan's lakes are located. The lake is 98 km in length and is named after Lake Neagh, in Northern Ireland.
