Lake Natron is said to be a deathtrap for the birds that fly above it due to its highly reflective surface. The lake is alkaline and has a high PH, and is similar to the Red Sea in that it has a high concentration of salt. Water flows in but does not flow out. Animal remains become calcified forming eerie statue like figures.
