There is a lake in Africa that is so alkaline, it can turn animals into statues - Apparently.
Lake Natron in Tanzania has a pH level of around 10.5, making it one of the most alkaline bodies of water on Earth. The high pH level is due to the presence of sodium carbonate and other minerals, which are deposited by hot springs and volcanic activity. When animals die in the lake, their bodies are quickly preserved by the alkalinity, resulting in a strange and eerie landscape of "frozen" animals. This phenomenon has been documented by scientists and photographers, providing evidence of the lake's unique properties.
