Tanzania is a beautiful land with vast landscapes, mountains and lakes. One of those lakes is Lake Natron, and in an astonishing place where all sorts of strange phenomena occur, as captured in these striking shots by photographer Nick Brandt. So, what on earth is going on? Brandt suggests something slightly different. Because the water is so alkaline, the only fish that live in Lake Natron are alkaline tilapia (Oreochromis alcalica). If you liked this, you’ll love Pink Lake Senegal.
