Natron Lakes 38

Natron Lakes 38Aerial views on natron lakes in Kenya and Tanzania Lake Magadi in southern Kenya and Lake Natron in northern Tanzania are both big salt lakes, which means that rain water does not flow out and can only escape by evaporation. The left over high concentration of salt and other minerals gives the lakes a very saturated red to almost black color. But unlike other salt lakes Magadi and Natron got a very high level of alkaline due to high amounts of natron.

Both lakes are by far the most inhospitable and surreal areas I have ever seen from above
