Lambda parameter for U3 gate in Qiskit- Bloch Sphere visualisation

It is easy to see how theta (rotation from the positive z-axis) and phi (rotation from the positive z-axis) affect the initial state of the qubit when looking at the Bloch sphere but I have been playing around with different lambda values and can't see a clear transformation. Geometrically, how does lambda transform the state?
