MWERU

This article appears in Volume V19, Page 103 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: MOS-NAN
MWERU , a large lake of Eastern Central Africa, traversed by the Luapula or upper Congo. It lies 3000 ft. above the sea;
measures
  about 76 m. in length by some 25 in breadth, and is roughly rectangular, the
axis
  running from S.S.W. to N.N E. It is cut a little
south
  of its centre by 9 S. and through its N.E. corner passes 29 E. At the
south
  end a shallow bay extends to 9 31' S.
East
  of this, and some miles further north, the Luapula enters from a vast marsh inundated at high water; it leaves the lake at the north-west corner, making a
sharp
  bend to the west before assuming a northerly direction. Besides the Luapula, the principal influent is the Kalungwizi, from the
east
 . Year the south end of the lake lies the
island
  of Kilwa, about 8 m. in length, rising into plateaus 600 ft. above the lake. Here the air is cool and balmy, the soil dry, with short
turf
  and clumps of shady trees, affording every requirement for a sanatorium. Mweru was reached by
David
  Livingstone in 1867, but its western shore was first explored in 1890 by Sir Alfred Sharpe, who two years later effected its circumnavigation. The eastern shores from the Luapula entrance to its exit, together with Kilwa
Island
 , belong to British Central Africa; the western to the Belgian Congo.
