It is located at 88.4°N and 217°W[2] on Titan's surface and is 175km in length. The lake is composed of liquid ethane and methane[3] and was detected by the Cassini–Huygens space probe. Indications are that it is an intermittent lake and so was named in 2013[4] after the Great Rann of Kutch, India-Pakistan.
