Lake Kittitata

As soon as I saw the name of this lake in Jade Forest, I giggled.  Lake Kittitata is a play on Lake Titticaca.

From the Wikipedia page:

Lake Titicaca is a lake in the Andes on the border of Peru and Bolivia. By volume of water, it is the largest lake in South America.^[2][3]Lake Maracaibo has a larger surface area, but is often regarded as a large brackish bay due to its direct connection with the sea.

It is often called the highest navigable lake in the world, with a surface elevation of 3,812 m (12,507 ft).^[4][5] Although this refers to navigation by large boats, it’s generally considered to mean commercial craft. At least two dozen bodies of water around the world are at higher elevations, but all are much smaller and shallower.^[6]

There is also a small stone circle in the middle of the lake with a tree that drops water (it is actually a very pleasant place to fish). You can find the Pandaren Ritual Stone here for a nice free 105 gold (if it has spawned).  I walked in and out of the circle which caused it to appear.

Please click, read, and wow someone with your new knowledge of Lake Titticaca!

On a quick personal note — I am still playing WoW. I love WoW. You can find me as Trailfox#1530 or Natalie on Borean Tundra.  I got a small raise at work (woo hoo)!  Still going great with the boyfriend and I love hims a lot!  We do a ton of stuff together so we don’t play Wow all that much. I usually have to play while he is away at drill on weekends (National Guard).  Other than that, working, working out (jogging) and living life.  Catch me on twitter @classyheals.
