One of the lakes

... that the volcanic Oasis of Mosquitoes in the Sahara can be seen from space, and has multicoloured lakes (pictured)?

Interesting good article, on excellent source, offline and foreign source accepted AGF, no copyvio obvious. The image is licensed and shows well. I would not pipe the name, but give it as a translation if at all, or readers might actually think it's an oasis. I'd decide "seen from space" or the lakes, not both. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 17:18, 1 October 2018 (UTC)

ps: also needs a qpq --Gerda Arendt (talk) 17:18, 1 October 2018 (UTC)

@Gerda Arendt: QPQ is here. Technically Waw an Namus is an oasis that also happens to be a volcano. I was wondering if DYK can be run with more than one image as the current only shows one lake. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 18:53, 1 October 2018 (UTC)

Undwrstand better, but don't think a scond image would add clarity. I suggest to say it the other way round, to get to the pictured thing first:
