The lavas have significant amounts of carbonate but very low calcium and magnesium levels. The surrounding bedrock is made of alkaline, sodium-dominated trachyte lavas that were laid down during the Pleistocene period.
The alkalinity of the lake can reach a pH of greater than 12. High levels of evaporation have left behind natron ( sodium carbonate decahydrate) and trona (sodium sesquicarbonate dihydrate). Temperatures at the lake are frequently above 40 ☌ (104 ☏). The total rainfall is about 800 millimetres (31 in) per year. Most of the rain occurs between December and May. In the surrounding area rain is infrequent. The lake is a maximum of 57 kilometres (35 mi) long and 22 kilometres (14 mi) wide. It is less than three metres (9.8 ft) deep. The lake is mainly fed by the Southern Ewaso Ng'iro River, which rises in central Kenya, and by mineral-rich hot springs. Numerous near-white salt-crust "rafts" pepper the shallowest parts of the lake (inset). Fault scarps and the Gelai Volcano can also be seen.
