Background

The Elmenteita Badlands, located between Lake Elmenteita and Eburru volcano, is an area of pyroclastic cones and lava flows of varying ages. Large basaltic lava flows and basaltic ash cones of Holocene age post-date the 10,000-year-old high-stand of Lake Elmenteita (Thomson and Dodson, 1963).

Stop Russia's Agression - Support Ukraine

Significant parts of this website use brilliant open-source software developed by Ukrainians. Russia's unprovoked war has killed tens of thousands, displaced millions, and the beautiful country of Ukraine is being destroyed. We cannot be silent even if the topic of this website has nothing to do with politics.
