Astronaut Thomas Pesquet captured from ISS Ethiopia’s Lake Tana.
Freshwater Lake Tana is Ethiopia’s largest lake and is the source of the Blue Nile (With the White Nile, the river becomes one of the two major tributaries of the Nile).
With 15m depth, 3000km2 area and located at 1800m altitude, Lake Tana has 37 islands on which 29 monasteries sporadically exist. About 70% of the fish species in the lake are endemic.
The scene on the ground is as follows.
