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.

- 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.
- 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.
- Awesome mountain ranges of volcanic origin surround the low-lying Suguta Valley,south of Lake Turkana. It is one of the hottest and most unpleasant corners of Kenya where midday temperatures rise to 1400 F in the shade - if you can find any
- 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.
- 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.
- South of Lake Turkana lies the Suguta Valley,the lowest and one of the most inhospitable place in Kenya. Vegetation is sparse and the area mainly uninhabited except for Turkana herdsmen and their goats. Most of the water there is too saline even for livestock to drink.
- A view of the treeless,barren country along the southeast shores of Lake Turkana. Lava debris is omnipresent here,making walking a perfect misery. In dry weather,after the seasonal water pans and rock pools have dried up,the Turkana water their livestock at the lake.
- Inhospitable,semi-arid,thorn scrub country northwest of Lodwar,the administrative centre of the Turkana people. All the hills and mountains are of volcanic origin. The tall flues of termite mounds dot the landscape; their colour shows the soil structure deep underground.

- A commiphora tree struggles to survive among basalt boulders - an aftermath of Pleistocene volcanic activity - that litter the countryside at the inhospitable southeast corner of Lake Turkana. The remarkable colour of the lake's alkaline water is caused by green algae with high chlorophyll concentrations. People often refer to the lake as the Jade Sea.
- El Molo Bay,situated on the eastern side of Lake Turkana,is an inhospitable place where strong winds blow incessantly. The bay is named after the El Molo - a small tribe of fishermen and stock owners whose village can be seen in the middle distance across the bay. The mountain in the background is Mount Nyiru.
- A young Turkana man looks out over Lake Turkana, often referred to as the Jade Sea due to the colour of its alkaline water. The barren, windswept country at this southeast corner of the lake is strewn with basalt lava boulders.
- South Island is Lake Turkana's largest island. Situated in the southern sector of the lake where the water reaches a depth of 374 feet,the island is a spine of volcanic cones and hills covering 15 square miles. The sparse vegetation struggles to grow in cinders and lava flows that are remarkably well preserved. In 1955,this island was the last part of the lake to be explored.
- The Gregory Rift appears at its most majestic a short distance northwest of Nairobi where the valley trough narrows to just fifteen miles across.From its eastern wall above the rock strewn Kedong Valley, the ancient volcanos of Suswa, left, and Longonot, far right, can be seen as reminders of a turbulent volcanic past that shaped the Rift Valley landscape over 25 million years.
- The natural rock pools along the Sirima lugga are important to the Turkana and their stock in an otherwise waterless, rocky region at the southern end of Lake Turkana. In a year of average rainfall, water in the deepest pools will last throughout the year.Lake Turkana is just visible in this picture.
