Kivu Lacus is a small Titanean hydrocarbon lake. It was discovered by the Cassini probe. The lake is near Titan's north pole and is named after Lake Kivu in the Democratic Republic of Congo and Rwanda. In 2012, Cassini spotted an Infrared glint off the lake. The aspects of it suggested waves.{{cite web|title=PIA18433: Sunglint on a Hydrocarbon Lake |url=http://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/catalog/PIA18433|publisher=NASA|date=30 October 2014|access-date=2 June 2016}}File:PIA10008 Seas and Lakes on Titan.jpg
