Malawi Philately: Lake Malawi

Lake Malawi, previously known as Lake Nyasa, is an African Great Lake and the southernmost lake in the East African Rift system, located between Malawi, Mozambique and Tanzania. It is a meromictic lake, meaning that its water layers do not mix.

It is the fifth largest fresh water lake in the world by volume, the ninth largest lake in the world by area—and the third largest and second deepest lake in Africa. Lake Malawi is home to more species of fish than any other lake in the world, including at least 700 species of cichlids.
