Everything about Lake Amadeus totally explained
Lake Amadeus is a huge
salt lake in the area of
Uluru (
Ayers Rock), located in the southwest corner of
Australia's
Northern Territory. Due to the aridity of the area, it's usually almost totally dry. In times of sufficient rainfall, it's part of an east-flowing drainage system that eventually connects to the
Finke River.
Nearby landmarks are:
Uluru (Ayers Rock),
Kata Tjuta (Olga Rocks) and
Mount Conner.
It was discovered by the explorer
Ernest Giles, who had originally intended to honour his benefactor Baron
Ferdinand von Mueller with the eponym
Lake Ferdinand. However Mueller prevailed upon Giles to instead honour King
Amadeus of Spain, who had previously bestowed honour on him.
Lake Amadeus is 180km long and 10km wide, making it the largest salt lake in the Northern Territory. It contains up to 600 million tonnes of salt, however harvesting it hasn't proved viable due to its remote location.
