Grendel's lair is a pocket of air within an underwater cave; he lives (lived) with his mother. The entrance to the cave is in the depths of a lake filled with numerous sea-monsters. In fact, it seems as though the lake is supernatural: the lake is described such that its surface is afire and that a deer being hunted by wolves would rather die by the wolves than jump into that lake.
