Ol Kokwe Island in Lake Baringo is seen in an aerial view looking W towards the Saimo escarpment of the rift margin. The elongated Island consists of young basaltic scoria cones that cap a trachytic shield volcano. N-S-trending faults cut the island, forming the double-tipped peninsula in the foreground and the narrow peninsula at the left center. The smaller island beyond Ol Kokwe is Parmalok, a tuff cone that fed a small lava flow.
