Dimensions and elevation in the text and Infobox do not agree.

The text states the lake is at 4625 m, the infobox states 4491 m. I have no way of working out which is correct!

The text states the lake is 1.02 by 0.4 km while the infobox states 2.7 by 1.35 km.

I have looked at Google maps at the coordinates stated and this agrees with the description of being near the village of Tanta so is probably correct. I have measured it on Google maps and could describe it as 2.15 by 1 km or as 2.1 by 1.3 depending on how you measure it. (First method follows the curve round the mountain for the length and then the width going away from the mountain; Second method views it as a triangle and measures the max length and width of that triangle.)

None of these measures I have done agrees with either set of measures in the article, nor can I find any way of fitting either of the measures in the article to the lake at this location.

Does anyone have access to any other sources to resolve this dilemma please?

Further to this I have just looked at the page for Ch'uspiqucha_(Huarochirí) and it gives the identical dimensions in the text as this article gives in the text. Has someone got their editing mixed up? MWchat (talk) 11:35, 9 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
