Stillwater Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 I went on from Lake Turkana and added some pictures I found in a blog. The IRIS factory demonstrator was fast and powerful enough for this flight... ... the inhabitants of lake Turkana also get airbourne: Flamingos. Heading north over a huge number of small and big craters... ... towards the Ethiopian mountains. We can clearly see the narrow rift near Chelbi Wildlife Reserve. Some lakes with an interesting connection near Arba Minch. I could not find real photos of the gorge, but... ... of the real inhabitants of Lake Abaya. Probably no good place for swimming. In this region many lakes have filled the breaking ground, like in the Abijata-Shalla area. Time to head up the hills, turning left over Nazret town, ... ... and climb some 1000 ft into Addis Abeba. Bole Intl. airport has an altitiude of 7591 ft, not easy to reach for underpowered planes. And honestly not a perfect altitude for an international hub.
