No GeoTIFF is available for this photo.Image Caption: This northeastward photo is the first clear coverage of
the transform fault zone that links the Lake Tanganyika and Lake
Malawi rift valleys in the western branch of the East African rift.
Fault-bounded Lake Rukwa occupies much of the transform zone. The
photograph permits visual comparison of these East African
rift/transform structures with those of the Border Corridor transform
in the Rio Grande rift of West Texas and adjacent Mexico (from El Paso
to Big Bend National Park). Smoke from fires can be seen throughout
the region, and another frame in this series (Frame 024) includes the
gorilla habitat in the Virunga Mts. north of Lake Kivu.
