Sur l’image ci-dessus, vous pouvez voir le contraste net entre les for\u00eats luxuriantes de la r\u00e9gion d’Ashanti au sud-est et la savane plus aride au nord. Les r\u00e9seaux routiers rejoignent Kumasi, la deuxi\u00e8me plus grande ville du Ghana avec une population d’environ 660\u00a0000 habitants. Au sud-est de Kumasi se trouve le lac Bosumtwi, un crat\u00e8re circulaire form\u00e9 par l’impact d’une m\u00e9t\u00e9orite, l’un des 18 crat\u00e8res d’impact confirm\u00e9s en Afrique.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
