Riches In East African Lakes
German and British East Africa host vast soda deposits in lakes described as world wonders. French engineer Victor Cambon notes Lake Magadi covers about 25 square miles and is nearly pure sesquicarbonate of soda. An English engineer reports streams rich in carbonate of soda feeding the lake, with a depth of over nine feet and potential depths many times larger. Lake Magadi lies east of Lake Victoria about 2650 miles from the Indian Ocean, and nearby German East Africa hosts larger soda lakes including Natron, whose area exceeds Lake Geneva.
