African lake that can turn animals into stone

Can you imagine going to a lake and finding stone animals scattered around, and to find out that the lake is what turned them to stone? Yep that’s right there actually is one! This lake is located in Tanzania and is called Lake Natron.
This is a salt lake but it also has high amounts of the chemical called natron in the water along with extreme amounts of alkaline. There are stone carcasses of animals scattered around the lake and sitting in the lake.
There is a stone flamingo sitting in the water, a bat turned to stone and random birds. Definitely worth Googling, this guy went there and put some of the stone animals in positions and took their pictures. It’s crazy.

Check out this website for photo of the stone animals.
