Life on a "Dead Lake"
The water of Lake Bagoria is putrid with soda ash, boiling up through geysers from crevices deep in the earth. One of many lakes in the great Rift Valley, including the Dead Sea and Galilee formed by a geological bulge in the Earth’s crust running from Israel down through the horn of East Africa. Even though no fish can live in Bagoria, algae grows and supports tens of thousands of flamingos. We saw many Greater Kudu – the largest antelope in the world, Zebra, Spring buck, Dic Dic, and other critters all making this majestic lake their “home.”
