Somewhere in the land of the Masai, Kenya - March 24th 2022. Overflying the harsh shrubland of the Masai Land in Kenya. The ridges are part of the typical rift valley landscape. A country road winds below along these steep slopes, where some trucks can be seen.

View into the Rift Valley from the slopes of the mountain Ol Doinyo Lengai. This is an active vulcanoe in Northern Tanzania, between the Rift Valley escarpment (seen on the left) and Lake Natron (very right), close to the border beween Tanzania and Kenya. There is permanent vulcanic activity at the crater plateau. The Masai-tribe believes that this mountain is the home of their god "ngai".

Ethiopia: aerial view of Africa's Great Rift Valley - This tectonic fault stretches in Africa for about 3,000 kilometers in length from North to South, from Eritrea to Mozambique, passing through the great African lakes. It cuts the Horn of Africa in two: the Somali plate to the east moves away from the African plate to the west. The Great Rift Valley experiences intense volcanic activity, of great complexity that cannot be seen anywhere else.
Aerial view of the Great Rift valley, Kenya. The Great Rift Valley is part of an intra-continental ridge system that runs through Kenya from north to south. It is within the eastern branch of the East African Rift, which goes from southern Tanzania to Ethiopia. The valley contains a chain of volcanoes, some of which are still active, and many lakes such as the Turkana, Baringo, Bogoria, Nakuru, Magadi and Natron. Most the lakes are shallow, poorly drained and alkaline, thus very rich in blue-green algae, which feed insects, small crustaceans and massive flocks of lesser flamingos (Phoenicoparrus minor). Altogether it forms a very peculiar mineral and colour-rich landscape. Currently the area is inhabited by the Maasai tribes, but the relics of many hominids have been found in the escarpments.

The volcanic explosion crater of Dallol in the Danakil Depresseion in Nothern Ethiopia. The Dallol crater was formed during a phreatic eruption in 1926. This crater is known as the lowest subaerial vulcanic vents in the world. The surreal colours are caused by green acid ponds and iron oxides and sulfur.
