Lake Mweru (English spelling)
A lake in central Africa on the border between the Democratic Republic of the Congo (formerly Zaire) and Zambia. Mweru means "lake" in the local language. It is roughly rectangular, measuring 120km long and 50km wide, with an elevation of 918m above sea level and an area of ​​4,900km2. The eastern and southern banks are marshes. The Luapula River, which forms the border between the two countries, flows into the southern bank, and the Lubua River, a tributary of the Congo River, flows out from the northern bank. Livingstone "discovered" the lake in 1867. [Editorial]
