Beschreibung:

Vegetated Eburru volcano (center) is elongated perpendicular to the Gregory Rift NW of Lake Naivasha (lower right), Kenya. The E-W-trending main edifice is eroded, but young craters cut the eastern part of the summit ridge, and partly vegetated, probably Holocene rhyolitic domes occur on the east flank. Extensive fumarolic activity occurs at cinder cones and craters constructed along faults cutting the massif. Lava flows of the Elmenteita Badlands are visible at the top-center portion of this Landsat image.
