Murat rode away, cursing, and the fact of the matter was that he owed the salvation of his cavalry to the timely arrival of Savary's regiments who, together with fresh squadrons sent forward by Napoleon, had taken the pressure off Murat's jumbled troopers.

 Lake Van, Turkey-Adiyamanli.org
Roughly triangular in shape, the lake lies in an enclosed basin; its brackish waters are unsuitable for either drinking or irrigation.
At some time during the Pleistocene Epoch (10,000, to about 2,000,000 years ago), a lava flow from the Nemrut volcano extended for nearly 37 miles (60 km) across the southwestern end of the basin, blocking westward drainage to the Murat River and thereby transforming the depression into a lake basin without outlet.
The lake is fed by rainfall and meltwater as well as by several tributaries, notably the Bendimahi and Zilan rivers, which flow in from the north, and the Karasu and Micinger rivers, which enter the lake from the east.

Well, it probably is, but Murat believes that it also helps boost his red blood cell capacity (like high altitude training) so when he does go for a record with a lungful of air, he'll be able to take more air down with him.
