Bird's eye view

Hi Folks, Gary and I have been having fun looking at satelite images of Lake Kariba . We used Virtual Globetrotter and were able to find the airport in Lukasa. We then scanned south and found the lake. You can get a good look at the shoreline. We were also able to see Victora Falls. Pretty amazing !!!

    Hi All, I used Google Earth to look at the Lake it is huge! The story is that the lake was built to help bring power to Zambia and what used to be Rodesia but is now Zimbabwe. The first dam was built then a huge flood came and washed it out so they built a better dam but there has never been any eletricity come from the dam as he locals kept tearing down the power lines as they did not want them. So the officials finally gave up! Thank you for the tips! Kim Colvin
