Lake Malawi(Africa-Malawi)

Lake Malawi International lake located in the southeast part of Africa which touches Malawi on the west, Mozambique and Tanzania on the east. The surface is 300,800km2, 46 times bigger than the Lake Biwa, and the depth is 706m. It is more than 2 million years old and known, with Lake Tanganyika and Lake Victoria, as one of the three great Ancient lakes found on the Fossa Magna of Africa. It is also a structural lake born in the chasm of land. About 800 indigenous fish live in the lake and especially a beautifully colored fish called Mbuna is exported world wide as ornamental fish. English explorer Livingstone is said to be the one to "discover" the lake in the middle of 19th century, but we find about 2 million years old human fossils from the lake shore.
