Lakes Gabra Guracha

 

"Lakes Gabra Guracha"

Lake Garba Guracha, upper Togona valley, Bale Mountains, looking northwards. The southern end of the basin is occupied by a 0.5 km long swampy deltaic plain characterized by a wide development of Cyperaceae and Juncus. (b) View of Lake Garba Guracha from the plateau (4100 m elevation), looking eastwards and northwards. A boulder-covered rock bar bounds the basin at its northern end. (c) This rock bar is slightly incised and acts as a lake water outlet during maximum lake level phases, as it was the case in May 2001. (d) 140-m high basaltic cliffs and steep trachytic slopes bound the Garba Guracha cirque to the south and southeast. The eastern slopes of the cirque are partially covered by thick screes of basaltic debris.
