There's a lake that turns animals into statues - Apparently.
Lake Natron in Tanzania is a saltwater lake that 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 natron, a naturally occurring mineral that helps to preserve dead animals. As a result, when animals die in the lake, their bodies are calcified and turned into "statues" within a few weeks, with feathers, fur, and even internal organs being replaced with minerals. This unique phenomenon has been documented by scientists and photographers.
