- 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.
- 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.
- The volcanic island of Ounda Ginni Koma (the small Hill of Devils) situated 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 sand around the island is reddish due to the colour of some friable volcanic material.

- 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.
- Red volcanic debris from the explosion crater of Garrayto lies on the surface of the hills that divide Lake Assal (in the distance) from the sea.
- A view from the top of Telekis Volcano looking north to the southern end of Lake Turkana and South Island beyond. Named after Count Teleki, an Austrian nobleman, who led the first European expedition to the region in 1888.
- Lava boulders cover vast tracts of infertile land on the eastern side of Lake Turkana. Often referred to as the Jade Sea due to its distinctive colour,Lake Turkana is a true desert lake,receiving 95% of its inflow from the Omo River,which rises in the highlands of Ethiopia.
