DescriptionLake Natron and Gelai Volcano (Tanzania), Lake Magadi (Kenya) from space.jpg |
English: Lake Natron (Tanzania) from space. The extinct Gelai Volcano, standing at 2942 m tall, is visible southeast of the lake. It is located in the East African Rift. Image captured on 3 February 2019 by Copernicus Sentinel-2 mission, a two-satellite mission to supply the coverage and data delivery needed for Europe’s Copernicus programme. It is also featured on the Earth from Space video programme. Lake Natron is a salt or soda lake in Arusha Region in Tanzania, around 60 km long, and is fed mainly by the Southern Ewaso Ng'iro River in the north. Despite its dark colour in this image, Lake Natron is often bright red owing to the presence of microorganisms that feed on the salts of the water. |
