  Geneva, Lake - Hutchinson encyclopedia article about Geneva, Lake   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
At certain periods of the year the lake surface is subject to sudden rises and falls, probably due to differences in barometric pressure; these phenomena are known as seiches.
Lake dwellings were built on the shores in prehistoric times, and piles from them can still be seen near Geneva.
The lake is mentioned by Rousseau in his Nouvelle Héloïse, and by Byron in ‘Childe Harold’ and ‘The Prisoner of Chillon’.
