AI overview
Lake Kivu is a large lake located in the East African Rift valley, situated on the border between Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo. It is a meromictic lake, meaning its water layers do not mix completely, which gives it unique geological and chemical properties that scientists find significant for understanding lake ecosystems.
