unc, I love records! And I thank you for that follow up since otherwise I would never have known there was such a place as Bia Game Production Reserve, where I am not.
Lake Volta would be a great clue! However, Lindy the Sleuth has found me, again!
Yes I am standing on Akosombo Dam and thank you for pointing out its superlative character. You're up again, Lindy.
In case you're wondering why I'm not in this photo, it was taken just as I fell off the back side of the dam.
Here's some facts and pics of Akosombo Dam which you can peruse until Lindy's next post.
The Akosombo Dam (also referred to as the Akosombo Hydroelectric Project) is a hydroelectric dam of the Volta River in southeastern Ghana in the Akosombo gorge and part of the Volta River Authority. The construction of the dam flooded part of the Volta River Basin, and the subsequent creation of Lake Volta. Lake Volta is the world's largest man-made lake, covering 8,502 square kilometres (3,283 sq mi), which is 3.6% of Ghana's land area.
The primary purpose of the Akosombo Dam was to provide electricity for the aluminum industry. The Akosombo Dam was called "the largest single investment in the economic development plans of Ghana." Its original electrical output was 912 MWe, which was upgraded to 1,020 MW in a retrofit project that was completed in 2006.
The flooding that created the Lake Volta reservoir displaced many people and had a significant impact on the environment.
