@Frankyz05 @onjolo_kenya Nilishindwa kusoma past that phrase "saline alkaline lake"... Siku hizi watu wanapost tu for the sake of posting

@MMKnimimi @onjolo_kenya Given by the pH is clearly alkaline Lake then and not both

This is Lake Logipi. Hidden deep within the silent, sun scorched expanse of the Suguta Valley lies Lake Logipi, a place so extreme, yet so beautiful, it feels almost unreal. Often referred to as part of the “Valley of D£ath,” this remote landscape is one of the hottest and most inhospitable regions on Earth. And yet, against all odds, it holds life. Lake Logipi is a shallow saline alkaline lake, stretching about 6 kilometers long and 3 kilometers wide, with a depth of only 3 to 5 meters. Its waters are rich in sodium bicarbonate, with an alkalinity reaching a pH of 9.5 to 10.5. Along its edges, white crusts of trona, a sodium rich mineral form naturally, giving the shoreline a striking, almost otherworldly appearance. Despite these harsh chemical conditions, the lake supports a unique and thriving ecosystem. Its waters often shift in colors like green, brown, deep red and orange due to the presence of heat tolerant cyanobacteria and algae, particularly Arthrospira. These microscopic organisms form the foundation of life here, providing food for one of the most iconic inhabitants of the lake, the flamingos. In recent years, Lake Logipi has emerged as a critical sanctuary for Lesser Flamingos. Aerial surveys conducted in late 2024 and 2025 recorded nearly one million birds gathering here to feed and breed, transforming the lake into a breathtaking sea of pink. In such a hostile environment, this spectacle is nothing short of extraordinary, a reminder of nature’s resilience and adaptability. Geographically, the lake lies just south of Lake Turkana, separated by the rugged Barrier volcanic complex a chain of relatively young volcanoes that define the dramatic landscape. During periods of extreme rainfall, like in 2020, Lake Turkana expanded and overflowed into Logipi, temporarily altering its size, salinity and ecological balance. Even in times of intense drought, Lake Logipi endures. Saline hot springs feed the lake along its northern shores and near Cathedral Rock, a towering volcanic formation that rises from the lake like a silent monument. These geothermal inputs help sustain the lake when surrounding conditions become almost unbearable. At times, when the rains return, the Suguta River carries fish such as tilapia and catfish into the lake, briefly enriching its biodiversity. Predators like golden jackals may appear along the shores, taking advantage of the temporary abundance of birdlife. These fleeting moments of balance highlight the delicate and ever changing nature of this ecosystem. Lake Logipi is not easily accessible. It is remote, isolated and unforgiving. But perhaps that is what makes it so powerful. It is a place where fire, salt, water and life come together in a rare and fragile harmony, hidden oasis in one of the most extreme environments on Earth. ~ Betty Kiende

@IntuINT_ @designmom Warren Buffet is proof that some billionaires have managed it

@designmom I'm sure there are plenty of billionaire's who compensate for this trap and build somewhat reliable feedback mechanisms. I mean.. I hope.

Research shows that A.I. bots agreeing with you on everything can cause harmful delusions. Now apply this to billionaires. Everyone around them is a sycophant, says yes, agrees with them. Because of this, billionaires suffer from harmful delusions. Billionaires have brain damage.

@Kenyans Reminds me of that Machakos F1 racing track 🥲

PSA TO WALKERS! my dad used to walk like 15-20k everyday and his outer thigh muscles are much stronger than his inner thigh muscles which puts a lot of strain on his knees. his doctor told him to not walk as much/climb stairs and his knees hurt 24/7. do inner thigh workouts guys

@StandardKenya As expected

Court of Appeal reinstate President William Ruto’s advisors, says removing them now could disrupt the President’s office.

@citizentvkenya @MeteoKenya Just remembered the former Met boss being forced to apologise for ACCURATELY predicting the weather 😂😂😂

President Ruto signs the Meteorology Act, 2023, establishing the Kenya Meteorological Service Authority as the principal technical adviser on meteorological matters

@kamauwaruhiu There actually is a reason.... But it's not the one you've stated here

There is a reason kangemi was forced into Westlands constituency and Karen was strapped to langata . Without people to control politicians would actually have to perform.imagine if jalango was mp for Karen and Karen alone he would have lost about 40kgs by now .

@puhcko That's not the smartest man to ever live

Reminder that the smartest man to ever live, John von Neumann, inventor of game theory, was a relentless advocate of nukes. To quote: “If you told me we were going to nuke the Soviets next week, I’d ask ‘why not today’? If you told me we were doing it this afternoon, I’d ask ‘Why not now? What’s the hold up?’”

@mitteiy Ama you just vote back Ruto? Kura yako chaguo lako

Imma need more from him, like what is his manifesto beyond not being Ruto. Cause, to be quite honest, that is an incredibly low bar.

@TruphenaMuthon Ha! The road to HELL is paved with good intentions

@CPMMwangi Better remuneration and stability

I was having a discussion earlier this morning with my former lecturer. He was raising a concern on why its difficult today to find a reliable employee. This is coming from a seasoned QS in East Africa and Europe. You get someone today but committed to other things making it difficult to concentrate on his work. What is the problem and proposed solution?

@nziokamul1 @roywahome9 Mount Zion!

I need to know what else happens in Kenya. Are we a child sex trafficking hub? Are we a human organs trading hub? Is the fatherland a spiritual realm? Are we a tax haven for foreign investors? Why are evil globalists interested in us this much?

im tired of this. the stripper has to like SOMEONE

Gold in the Motor Sports Category at the World Sports Photography Awards 2026. 🥇 A proud moment for me, my country Kenya 🇰🇪and the Safari Rally. When the Safari Rally returned to the WRC circuit in 2021, I was one of a handful of Kenyan photographers accredited to shoot at the rally. I have been privileged to shoot at every WRC Safari Rally Kenya ever since, making the 2025 edition my fifth in a row. This winning image was captured during Shakedown at Sleeping Warrior. Unlike regular rally stages that are run once before the cars dash on to the next stage, at Shakedown, the drivers run the stage three to four times. These back-to-back runs give us the photographers a chance to change our shooting positions and settings, with the goal of capturing the best shots. I almost always shoot in AV mode which didn't change on the different runs. What changed was my shooting position, from a jump to this one which is where I captured my favourite images from the rally and this winning shot. The dust Grégoire Munster and Louis Louka in their Ford Puma Rally1 are kicking up is called fesh fesh. It is almost watery in nature yet very dry, hence the splashy look it produces in photos. Thank you @WorldSportsPix for the recognition as well as @canonemeapro @CanonUKandIE @canonusa and @canoncna for supporting photography talent worldwide. Captured on a Canon R5C with RF 100-500mm f/4.5-7.1 L IS USM 1/3200sec at f/5.6, ISO 400, 324mm #WSPA26

I don’t get how many smart people can say this stuff again and again with a straight face. The purpose of demonstrations by college students is to change US government policy. Not virtue signal - which is what their cynical opponents think they’re doing. To try and pressure and change our government’s policy. So what would they demonstrate against when it comes to Iran? Our government isn’t arming the attacks on protesters in Iran, doesn’t fund Iran, and isn’t allied with Iran. And yet smart people keep saying ‘why don’t you protest X instead of Z’ when they know Z isn’t like X and our government actually is responsible for Z not X. This isn’t hard. FFS.
