Lake Natron in Tanzania is one of the most serene lakes in Africa, but it's also the source of some of the most phantasmagorical photographs ever captured. The carcasses of animals that died in the lake are calcified over time by the properties of the lake, not turned to stone. All photos copyright Nick Brandt, courtesy of Hasted Kraeutler Gallery. Its beauty comes with a price, though: most creatures that drink from the lake will end up dead. These photos and many more are included in Brandt’s new book, Across the Ravaged Land, a third and final volume of photography documenting the disappearance of animals in Eastern Africa. This Red Water Lake in Tanzania Turns Most Creatures into Stone 2.9k Views With its bright red and orange colors, Lake Natron is definitely one of Tanzania’s most spectacular sights. No one knows for certain exactly how they die, but it appears that the extreme reflective nature of the lake’s surface confuses them, and like birds crashing into plate glass windows, they crash into the lake.” Brandt tells NewScientist, “I could not help but photograph them. Birds and other small mammals that end up in the water gradually become calcified, turned to stone in the deadly water. While working Africa photographer Nick Brandt stopped by the lake to discover several dead animals on the shoreline. ![]() Animals who enter the water are almost certainly doomed, save certain kinds of fish that have evolved to survive in such a caustic environment. Temperatures in the lake can rise to 140 ☏ (60 ☌) and the alkalinity is between pH 9 and pH 10.5, almost as alkaline as ammonia. ![]() Lake Natron in northern Tanzania is one of the harshest environments on Earth. ![]()
