Another African great lake, Lake Tanganyika is surrounded by mountains and valleys within the Albertine Rift. Formed naturally due to tectonic movements, Lake Tanganyika is also the second-oldest freshwater lake in the world, the second-largest by volume, and the second-deepest. It drains into the Congo river system and eventually into the Atlantic Ocean. Lake Tanganyika is considered one of the richest freshwater ecosystems in the world, with more than 2,000 plant and animal species.
