The most eerie and terrifying lake in the world, known as the 'Night Lake', once the creature touches the petrified

Many people should have never heard of Natron Lake. This is a lake known as the River Styx, which is very terrifying.

Lake Natron is a saltwater lake in Tanzania, located in the Gregory Rift in the eastern part of the Great Rift Valley. The most peculiar thing about the lake is that it has a kind of "petrified" magic. Many animals that come into contact with the lake will turn into stone-like "statues" and die here. Therefore, Lake Natron is also called "petrified lake". . This is also the main reason why it is called the Nether Lake.

Why is Lake Natron able to petrify animals? It is because the lake water contains a natural compound called caustic soda, and caustic soda is mainly composed of sodium carbonate and baking soda, which makes the pH value of the lake water as high as 9 to 10.5, and the alkalinity is similar to that of ammonia. Sex has a burning effect on the skin and eyes of animals, so it can be life-threatening if touched.

In addition, the Natron Lake water is also rich in minerals. This is because most of the lake water comes from hot springs where many minerals accumulate. The water temperature of the lake water can be as high as 50 degrees. After the water evaporates, the concentration of minerals in the lake is greatly increased. It's more like a nice hot spring.

Dead and "petrified" bats, songbirds, eagles and other birds can be seen everywhere on the lake of Natron Lake. These birds did not decompose for a long time after death because of the sodium carbonate deposition in the lake water. It has a good antiseptic effect, making these bird carcasses calcified into "petrified statues".

Of course, many people will be puzzled, how can animals come into contact with lake water for no reason? In fact, because the alkalinity of this lake is too high, there are basically no creatures in the lake, and the entire lake is very calm. As long as the sky is clear during the day, the clear and calm lake will reflect the blue sky and white clouds.

Because it is very realistic, most birds will think that this is the real sky. When it is found that it is lake water, it is too late, so this is why most of the petrified creatures on the lakeshore are birds.

However, there are always exceptions to everything. Not all animals will die when they come into contact with it. For example, flamingos and tilapia, which we often eat, can survive tenaciously in lake water.

Another magical feature of Lake Natron lies in the color of the lake itself. Under different water levels, the lake water presents different colors such as blood red, coffee color, and blue. Among them, the most impressive is the red color, because if you look at it up close, the lake water is red like dripping blood, just like real blood water, and it looks very strange.
