Lake
Afrera, or Egogi Bad for the Afars and also known as Lake Giulietti
after the Italian Explorer killed
by the Afars in 1881, is 16 km long and 6 km wide. It lies at 140 meters
below sea level and it is extremely salty. In the globe's hottest region,
it is still extant due to the constant supply of fresh waters from the
thermal springs coming from the still partially active volcanic chain
of the Ertale.The first six pictures in this section (0003 to 0008 by
Rino, Cinelux Asmara) are a panoramic sequence showing the lake's southern
part. |
