Lake Magadi lies within Kenya, slightly north of Lake Natron and at the bottom of a steep-sided valley, the lowest point in the eastern or Gregory Rift Valley. The lake extends roughly 20 km N-S and is up to 6 km wide. Both lakes lie at some 600 m above sea level and are surrounded by plateaus and active natrocarbonatite volcanoes, reaching to more than 3,000 m asl. With an area of only 90 km2, Lake Magadi is one of the most saline and one of the smallest, alkaline lake sumps in the Rift Valley.
