Great Rift Valley
The Great Rift Valley is a geological fault, almost 5,000 km in extention – from North Syria to the central parts of Mozambique.
The Great Rift Valley ranges in elevation from 1,300 ft (395 m) below sea level at the Dead Sea to 6,000 ft (1,830 m) above sea level in Southern Kenya.

The Great Rift Valley originated from vulcanic activity and today eastern Africa is still moving eastwards everyday from the very same geological forces!
Inside the Rift valley
