Due to the high climate here, the lake water can only enter and exit, and the concentration of minerals in the lake water is very high due to strong evaporation. In particular, the content of sodium carbonate and sodium bicarbonate is very high, so that the PH value of the lake water reaches about 10.5, showing strong alkalinity, with strong corrosiveness, in 2011 photographer Nick Brandt took a set of shocking photos in Lake Natron, in which some flying animals can be clearly seen in the gray background.

Lake Nyos
Recognized by the Guinness Book of World Records as the world's deadliest lake in 2008, Lake Nyos in Cameroon was originally a volcanic crater that had not erupted for a long time.
Its surface looks at the flat river, and at the bottom of the lake at a depth of 500 meters, there are billions of tons of carbon dioxide dissolved, and the concentration is still rising, there is a threat of eruption at any time, and most of the carbon dioxide is absorbed by the lake water, and a large number of harmful gases erupt during volcanic eruptions, causing people and animals to suffocate and die, so it is one of the three major murder lakes unique to Africa.
