The story behind the world´s largest man made lake

The largest man made lake in the world can be found on the border between Zambia and Zimbabwe. It is called Lake Kariba and the story behind it´s creation is a spectacular one. Filling of the water into the lake between 1958 and 1963 caused more than 20 earthquakes.

At the same time, during operation Noah, 6 000 animals was relocated due to the rising of water levels. A talented artist, Lesotho-born Bennet Zondo, was inspired by this to make fantastic art. His sculptures of animals within boats memorizes this moment. Bennet Zondo is working in South Africa and is part of the group Ardmore Ceramics.
