Abstract:
We present data from the Lake Afdera (13.26N; 40.90E) and its surrounding. Equipped with a small inflatable boat and an echosounder (Humminbird, 899ci hd si system), we surveyed the lake to obtain its first complete bathymetric map. We further investigated the fault pattern around the lake to interpret the lineaments observed in the bathymetry.
