Lake that turns animals into stones

 Lake Natron in Tanzania is a salt or alkaline lake.


Natron is full of sodium bicarbonate salt.


It is deep red and pink in colour. 


Water of lake Natron is subjected to high temperature. 


The high level of sodium bicarbonate leads to calcification of dead birds and animals.


Their carcasses are now salty statues.
