Question
People living around this lake catch millions of midges by waving around nets or an oiled frying pan and compress them to make a savory cake called kunga. Surfing on this lake is enabled by strong mwera winds. The exclave islands of Chizumulu and Likoma lie in this lake. Two countries that border this lake refer to it by a name that translates from Yao as “Lake Lake.” This is the largest lake situated between the Rovuma plate and the Nubian plate. A UNESCO World Heritage Site celebrates the explosive speciation of mbuna, haplochromine (*) cichlids (“SICK-lids”) endemic to this lake. This is the largest lake drained by the Shire (“SHE-ray”) River and is also called Lake Nyasa. For 10 points, name this southernmost of the African Great Lakes, bordered by Tanzania, Mozambique, and its namesake country. ■END■
