13) Lake Malawi National Park

ASSALAMUALAIKUM DAN SELAMAT SEJAHTERA...

I have found the second deepest lake in the world. And I'm interested
to publish in this blog. It is the top world destination. The places that I will put in my blog is 
the places that I wish to travel and if I get the chances to get there.

 I want to show the overview of the Lake Malawi, africa.  This lake, the third largest in Africa and the eight largest lake in the world, is located between MalawiMozambique, and Tanzania.

  


Located at the southern end of the great expanse of Lake Malawi, with its deep,
clear waters and mountain backdrop, the national park is home to many hundreds of fish species,
nearly all endemic.


Lake Malawi (also known as Lake Nyasa in most countries, or Lake Nyassa, 
Lake Niassa, or Lago Niassa in Mozambique), is an
African Great Lake and the southernmost lake in the East African Rift system.  



 A designated World Heritage Site, Lake Malawi is second only in importance to the history of evolutionary study to that of the finches of the Galapagos Islands. Lake Malawi hosts the richest variety of tropical fish of any freshwater lake in the world. Nearly 500 species of cichlids are unique to its waters, encompassing 30 percent of the entire group. Of particular interest is the brightly coloured 'mbuna' rock fish. There is a total of 28 other species endemic to the lake.
