Summary

Description

Not to be confused with the North American Great Lakes.

Unlike the North American Great Lakes, which experience twice yearly turnovers in the Spring and Fall, the deep layers of these lakes can build up dangerous large volumes of dissolved gases.

Lake Kivu, in particular, is at risk of a Limnic Eruption.
