Lake Natron – Petrifying Lake, Tanzania
Heard about a lake that changes birds into stones. Lake Natron is the one. It is a soda and salt reservoir located in Tanzania close to the border shared with Kenya. No need to say that the lake is very detrimental especially for animals. Here, the temperature rises up to 140F with the pH level reaching 10. The water of the lake has the potential of burning animals’ eyes and skin who are not used to of its atmosphere. Moreover, the assimilated sodium carbonate works as a preservative that mummifies the body of dead animals.
