Summary
| Description |
English: Lake Natron and surroundings in northern Arusha Region, Tanzania. It is located in the East African Rift. The lake is mostly inhospitable to life, except for a few species adapted to its warm, salty, and alkaline water. You can see the deepest water along the perimeter of the lake bed, the location of lower-elevation lagoons. The extinct Gelai Volcano, standing at 2942 m tall, is partly visible southeast of the lake.
Natural-colors mages was captured on 3 March 2017, very early in the rainy season, by the Operational Land Imager (OLI) on NASA's Landsat 8 satellite. Deutsch: Der Natronsee und seine Umgebung im Norden der Region Arusha in Tansania. Er ist Teil des Ostafrikanischen Grabens. Der See ist sehr lebensunwirtlich, außer für wenige Arten, welche sich an sein warmes, salziges und basisches Wasser angepasst haben. Der höchste Wasserstand ist im Süden und Südosten sichbar. Der erloschene, 2942 m hohe Vulkan Gelai ist südöstlich (unten rechts) des Sees zu sehen. Das Echtfarbenbild wurde am 3. März 2017, in der sehr frühen Regenzeit, durch den Operational Land Imager (OLI) des NASA-Satelliten Landsat 8 aufgenommen. |
