Description

Today I decide to take you to the strangest lake in the world. The dangerous and red lake of Tanzania Lake Natron in Tanzania. This salt lake can be very dangerous. Its temperature can reach 60 degrees and its PH level is 10! However, its rare red color makes Lake Natron a very unique and beautiful destination In the north of Tanzania, there is a scary lake that turns various animals, including birds, into stone. The natives consider this lake to be cursed and mysterious and they are not willing to swim in it. On the shore of this lake, you will encounter countless birds that have turned into stone and dried up in different states! The image of dead birds that are completely dry and fossilized gives a very scary aspect to this lake Natron salt lake is actually a salt lake and is located in Tanzania. The special location of this lake is such that water enters the lake but does not leave it. As a result, the water in the lake can only be removed through evaporation. Over the years, the water in the lake has evaporated, leaving behind a large layer of salt and other minerals. Natron salt lake is fundamentally different from similar salt lakes. The water of this lake is highly alkaline due to the high amount of natron mineral (combination of sodium carbonate and baking soda) in the water. The pH level of the lake water is very high and reaches up to 10.5 (almost as much as ammonia!). As expected, few organisms can survive in such water. Only a few species of fish (Alcolapia latilabris), a few types of algae and a group of flamingos live in Natron Lake, which feed on these algae. A strange thing that happens in the Natron salt lake is that migratory birds fall into the water! There are various theories about this happening, which say that the high concentration of chemicals make the surface of the water highly polished and act like a glass door. Birds flying above the surface of the water think they are still flying in the sky and do not realize that they are getting too close to the surface of the water. As a result, they suddenly fall into the water! Of course, this issue is not limited to birds, and some time ago, a helicopter suffered from this illusion and fell into the water. It is interesting to know that the wreckage of the helicopter quickly rotted in the salty and mineral water of the lake. During the dry season when the water level recedes, countless bird carcasses can be seen washed ashore by the water. These carcasses are completely dry and fossilized in the extremely salty and alkaline water of the lake. This design is designed with carpet software
