"My heart ceased beating, and the chill of death crept over my limbs, as with eyes starting from their sockets I stared at that awful head, reflected in the pool. For hours it seemed to me I gazed fascinated, as the bird by the eye of the snake that has charmed it. I was as incapable of thought as movement, till suddenly forgotten school-room learning began to cross my brain, and I knew that I looked at the reflection of Medusa, the Gorgon, fairest and foulest of living things, the unclean creature, half woman, half eagle, slain by the hero Perseus, and one glimpse of whose tortured face turned the luckless beholder into stone with the horror of it." ― Gertrude Bacon, The Gentlewomen of Evil: An Anthology of Rare Supernatural Stories from the Pens of Victorian Ladies

Perhaps similar thoughts also permeated the minds of the animals that met their demise in Tanzania’s Lake Natron. This highly alkaline lake first gained its notoriety when photographer Nick Brandt captured these phantasmal images of living animals that had seemingly been turned to stone just by touching the caustic waters of the lake — a headline that is more myth than fact.

Brandt had indeed found petrified figures of animals at Lake Natron, but not in the lifelike forms as depicted in his eerie series of photos published in his book 'Across the Ravaged Land'. After he had found the calcified corpses of animals washed up along the lake’s shores, he turned their remains into an art form by positioning them in lifelike formations — “Reanimated, alive again in death,” as he wrote in his book.

Lake Natron’s waters have a pH as high as 10.5, which is so corrosive that the paint of Brandt’s Kodak film boxes were weathered off just seconds after coming into contact with the lake waters. The lake is also extremely saline with a high soda content, which come from erosion of land minerals and influx of salty spring water beneath the lake. Lake Natron sits within the eastern branch of the East African rift, one of the world’s most tectonically active zones where tectonic plates are moving away from each other. The active rifting is a source of intense volcanism within the region, which accounts for the saline-rich spring waters that seep out beneath rift lakes such as Lake Natron.

Despite Lake Natron’s morbid countenance, its alkaline waters is home to a prosperous ecosystem of salt marshes, wetlands, flamingoes, various species of birds and fish, and algae. In fact, Lake Natron is a major breeding ground for flamingoes thanks to the saline waters that keep many predators at bay. Ephemeral islands form during dry seasons, which the flamingoes use as nests for their young.

Animals that meet their demise in the caustic waters are calcified by the high concentrations of soda (coincidentally used as an ingredient for mummification in ancient Egypt) and prolonging their bodies beyond death and decay. Perhaps Lake Natron should instead be renowned for its preservation qualities — a reminder that even the most unwelcoming environments is still home to many forms of life.

Quotes from my favourite books (1/?): 

THE MASTER AND MARGARITA by Mikhail Bulgakov

#i'm starting a new thingTM #master and margarita #mikhail bulgakov #literature #quotes #litq #my edit

[vanished]

One can never have enough socks," said Dumbledore. "Another Christmas has come and gone and I didn't get a single pair. People will insist on giving me books."

J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone

#litq #quote

[synestesi-blog]

I am the most tired woman in the world. I am tired when I get up. Life requires an effort I cannot make. Please give me that heavy book. I need to put something heavy like that on top of my head. I have to place my feet under the pillows always, so as to be able to stay on earth. Otherwise I feel myself going away, going away at a tremendous speed, on account of my lightness. I know that I am dead. As soon as I utter a phrase my sincerity dies, becomes a lie whose coldness chills me. Don't say anything, because I see that you understand me, and I am afraid of your understanding. I have such a fear of finding another like myself, and such a desire to find one! I am so utterly lonely, but I also have such a fear that my isolation be broken through, and I no longer be the head and ruler of my universe. I am in great terror of your understanding by which you penetrate into my world; and then I stand revealed and I have to share my kingdom with you.
