A little distance offshore from the coast of Djibouti, the northern extent of Africas Great Rift Valley abuts a triple junction where the oceanic rifts of the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden converge.This photograph shows an obvious crack in a huge lava ridge.Other than Iceland, Djibouti is the only country where scientists can observe the sea floor spreading on dry land as two plates move apart.

After a rain shower,shrubs of the Pea family (Papilionoideae) give a splash of colour to the forbidding landscape near Ghoubbet el Kharäb (the Devil's Throat),a region of high seismic activity where deep fractures in the lava continue to widen year by year.

The inhospitable countryside between Garrayto and Lake Assal is strewn with lava and pale,friable material discharged from nearby volcanoes.

The region surrounding Ghoubbet el Kharäb (the Devil's Throat) is an inhospitable maze of lava rock,which makes walking virtually impossible.

On the inhospitable lava-strewn hills surrounding the inlet of Ghoubbet el Kharäb (the Devil's Throat),a relative of the Dragon's Blood Tree (Dracaena orbet) struggles to survive in low rainfall and temperatures regularly exceeding 1000 F.

The Suguta Valley is a low-lying area of salt pans,mud flats and volcanic cones surrounded by awesome mountain ranges. Once,a part of Lake Turkana,the place is one of the hottest and most unpleasant corners of Kenya,a hell-on-earth where midday temperatures can reach 1400 F in the shade. Nomadic Turkana herdsmen bring their livestock here for salt but they never stay long.

The sand around the island is reddish due to the colour of some friable volcanic material.

- Some of the lava flows from Telekis Volcano looking north to the southern end of Lake Turkana where the Nabuyatom cone is prominent. Named after Count Teleki, an Austrian nobleman, who led the first European expedition to the region in 1888.
- Andrew's Volcano is situated on 'The Barrier' - a large volcanic uplift that separates Lake Turkana from the Suguta Valley (visible in the distance of this picture) to its south. This volcano is one of many dormant volcanos in the region. It last erupted in about 1895 but steam can still be seen issuing from nearby vents.
- Lava flows from Teleki's Volcano. Named after Count Teleki,an Austrian nobleman,who led the first European expedition to the region in 1888,the volcano last erupted in about 1895 - the only active volcano in the region at that time. Over centuries,each eruption ejected basaltic lava of a different colour. The flows in the foreground still look remarkably fresh.
- Euphorbia shrubs and small 'wait-a-bit' thorn trees (Acacia brevispica) thrive among a confusion of basalt lava boulders at the southern end of Lake Turkana,near Sirima. Extensive lava fields in this region are an aftermath of Pleistocene volcanic activity and make walking a perfect misery.
