Deadly African Salt Lake Turns Animals Into Ghostly Statues
View this post on Instagram
The unlucky animals in these photos died in Lake Natron, a salt lake in Tanzania that is so hot and alkaline that almost nothing can survive in it. The lake’s toxic chemistry hardened and preserved the animal’s bodies into ghoulish statues, which photographer Nick Brandt found scattered along the shoreline of the lake. He arranged the animals into the poses you see here. For more photos of African wildlife check out his photo gallery and photo book, Across the Ravaged Land.
