The 27.49-square-kilometre (10.61 sq mi) lake is about 25 kilometres (16 mi) long. It is the ninth-deepest lake in Norway and extends about 265 m (869 ft) below sea level and since it sits at an elevation of 49 m (161 ft), the maximum depth of the lake is 314 m (1,030 ft). This overdeepening, as well as its long and narrow shape, are characteristics of glacially-formed lakes.[3]
