Lake Natron (Tanzania) Lake Natron in Tanzania is also known as Petrifying Lake because it has the power to turn birds to “stone.” The water temperature can reach 140 degrees Fahrenheit and its pH level is 10.5, nearly as high as ammonia. The water is so caustic that it can burn the skin and eyes of animals that aren't adapted to it. Its high levels of sodium carbonate also act as a preservative, leaving birds, bats and other animals that die in its waters almost mummified. The lake is, however, a safe breeding place for a flock of flamingos. #info #EverythingsInfo
