Ol Kokwe and the three other smaller islands in Lake Baringo constitute a volcanic complex that may be considered as a southerly outpost of the Korosi volcano (No. 085-00-034). Ol Kokwe consists mainly of coalescing basaltic scoria cones but the most southerly part is built of trachytes, which also form the island of Parmalok.
