That lake is not just huge, but crazy deep. It's bigger than the state of Maine in terms of area and in places is deeper than the Empire State Building is tall.

Or in other words, imagine turning Maine into a fishtank forty stories high that's full of fresh water.

Exactly the same here. Love it when something that is simply too large for comprehension is reframed in an easy to understand way.
