Like Baikal, Lakes Tanganyika and Nyasa each occupy tectonic troughs and all have many similar features. All are very long and narrow. The long axis of Tanganyika measures 650 km., whereas that of Baikal is 675 km. Their areas and therefore their average widths are practically identical (Halbfass, 1928). Nyasa is shorter, 580 km. in length, but about as wide, with an area of 25,000 sq. km., according to Giliman (1933). Baikal, Tanganyika, and Nyasa are respectively the seventh, eighth, and ninth largest in area of the lakes of the world (Halbfass, 1937). A bathymetric map of Tanganyika was published by Stappers in 1914. Rhoades' map of 1902 is the only one available for Nyasa.(Stappers' map is reproduced in Beauchamp, 1939, and in Poll, 1946.)
