EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the rugged beauty of the eastern side of Lake Turkana, where vast tracts of infertile land are covered by imposing lava boulders. The barren landscape, shaped by volcanic activity and characterized by dryness and aridity, is a testament to the power and force of nature in this African region. Lake Turkana, often referred to as the Jade Sea due to its distinctive color, stands as a true desert lake within the Great Rift Valley system. Its main source of water comes from the Omo River, which originates in Ethiopia's highlands. As 95% of its inflow depends on this river, it highlights how crucial it is for sustaining life in an otherwise inhospitable environment. The rocky terrain and sparse vegetation create an uninviting atmosphere that seems untouched by time itself. Acacia trees dotting the landscape provide some relief against this parched backdrop but serve as a reminder of resilience amidst adversity. This image captures not only the geological wonders but also reflects upon our planet's diverse landscapes. It invites us to contemplate both the harsh realities faced by certain regions while appreciating their unique beauty. Through Discover Images' lens captured by AWL photographer Larida Bach, we can immerse ourselves in this Kenyan scene and marvel at Earth's extraordinary natural formations.
