**Ngami Lacuna** is a feature on Saturn's largest moon, [Titan](/source/Titan_(moon)), believed to be the currently dry bed of an [intermittent](/source/Intermittent_lake) [hydrocarbon lake](/source/Lakes_of_Titan).

When full, the lake would be composed of [liquid](/source/Liquid) [methane](/source/Methane) and [ethane](/source/Ethane).[1] It was detected in 2007 by the *[Cassini–Huygens](/source/Cassini%E2%80%93Huygens)* [space probe](/source/Space_craft).

Ngami Lacuna is located at coordinates 66.7°[N](/source/North) and 213.9°[W](/source/West) on Titan's [globe](/source/Globe) and is 37.2 [km](/source/Kilometre) in [diameter](/source/Diameter).[2] It is named after [Lake Ngami](/source/Lake_Ngami), in [Botswana](/source/Botswana),[2] and like its [terrestrial](/source/Earth) namesake is considered to be [endorheic](/source/Endorheic_basin).
