Sotonera Lacus is located near the north pole of Titan, centered on latitude 76.75°N and longitude 17.49°W, and measures 63 km in length.[1][note 1] It is situated in a north polar region where the majority of Titan's large lakes are found.
The lake is composed of liquid methane and ethane,[2] and was detected by the space probe Cassini. It was named in 2007 after Lake Sotonera in Spain.[1]
