About Tuns
A tun = 4 hogsheads = 252 US gallons ≈ 953.9 L - the largest traditional wine cask and origin of the English word 'ton': a full tun of wine weighed ~1 long ton.

About Cubic Miles
A cubic mile (mi³) ≈ 4.168 km³ = 4.168 × 10¹² L. Lake Superior: ~2,900 mi³ (world's largest freshwater lake by surface area). Total volume of all glaciers and ice caps (excl. Antarctica and Greenland): ~170,000 mi³. Volcanic magma chamber sizes and major US aquifer volumes are sometimes quoted in cubic miles in American geoscience literature. 1 mi³ ≈ 4.168 km³.
