Lake OiniagaDeep in the Saharan wasted of Chad are a variety of outlet free saline lakes that drain what rainfall there is towards them, the most famous being Lake Chad. They grow and shrink over the millennia, depending on the current vagaries of climate. From space, they can appear like an abstract painting, as in this image of Oiniaga. The prevailing winds are blowing large dust plumes from the surrounding higher ground at the dry lake shore into the basin, creating lines of flying dust, streamers of sediment entering the wet part of the lake and coloured streaks from oxidised iron on the white salt surface of the dry parts.LozImage credit: SPOT6/Astrium -- source link
