LAKE TURKANA
Lake Turkana, is a lake in the Great Rift Valley in Kenya, with its far northern end of the lake crossing into Ethiopia. It covers a surface area of 6405 km2 (2473 mi2), making it the world's largest permanent desert lake.
It is also the world's largest alkaline lake.
Lake Turkana, sometimes referred to as the Jade Sea, contains Nile perch, a handful of obscure and pelagic cichlids of the genus Haplochromis and tilapia, and formerly contained Africa's largest population of Nile crocodiles: 14,000 breed on Central Island. The presence of water in such an arid area makes the region internationally important as a staging post for migrating birds. Lions, cheetah and giraffe as well as many other species of mammal live in the area.
