What's in the photo? From left to right: Lake Shala, Lake Abijatta and Lake Langano.The trio of lakes in this striking image each have a different color thanks to a combination of factors including depth, water chemistry and inhabiting wildlife. This is very strange, not only because of the lakes' proximity but because in the not-too-distant past , they were once part of the same ancient lake, according to NASA's Earth Observatory.
Lake Abijata, which is around 11 miles long and 9 miles wide, is the shallowest of the three lakes, with a maximum depth of 46 feet . As a result, it is highly variable and has lost around one-third of its area over the last 50 years. The lake's green color is most likely due to a bloom of phytoplankton on its surface, which also attracts a large number of birds.
