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.

Semi-arid,thorn scrub country,littered with lava debris,near Parkati. Being extremely hot and dry,the area is only used by the nomadic Turkana for grazing goats and camels. No crops will grow there.

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.

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.

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.

The natural rock pools along the Sirima lugga (seasonal watercourse) are important to the Turkana and their livestock 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. If they dry up,the Turkana resort to using the alkaline water of Lake Turkana.

- 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.
