Nyiro, Telekis Volcano and the Barrier volcanic complex standing as a foreboding sentinel, separating Lake Turkana from the enigmatic Lake Logipi and the mysterious Suguta Valley. Four shield volcanoes, including the youthful Kakorinya (last erupted in 1921), dominate the landscape, creating a geological wonderland.
