Image Caption: Kenya, East Africa. Splendid northwesterly view showing Lake Turkana, Mt. Kenya (17,057 ft), and Mt. Kilimanjaro (19,340 ft) within the structural context of the Kenya branch of the East African rift. The great volcanoes have risen where the rift valleys change trend; the same is true of Mt. Elgon (14,778 ft) which is just off the left edge of this photo. Lake Natron is dimly visible to the northwest of Kilimanjaro.
