Lake Tritriva
Template:Infobox lake Lake Tritriva is a volcanic lake in southwest-central Madagascar, in the region of Vàkinankàratra, located near the village of Belazao. In a distance of 15 km from Antsirabe, it is easy to reach by the National Road 34.[1]
There's a strict Fady (taboo) for this lake and swimming is not allowed.
The lake fills an extinct crater[2] in a region notable also for the presence of many hot springs. It sits in the vent of an oval volcanic cone enclosed in vertical gneiss cliffs.[3] The rim of the cone is about Template:Cvt above sea level, while the surface of the lake is approximately Template:Cvt below the rim.[3] The lake's water level drops during the rainy season and rises when the monsoon rains have ceased.
The lake is up to Template:Cvt deep, making it Madagascar's deepest lake.[4]
