The sodium carbonate and other minerals that flow into the lake from the surrounding volcanic rock hills and lava flows provide the lake’s alkalinity, which does not drain to any river or sea other than evaporation. Lake Natron is one of two alkaline lakes in East Africa, the other being Lake Bahi, which is perhaps the world’s most caustic body of water and perhaps the most striking of all the rift valley lakes, with a PH of 10.5.
Situated in the East African country of Tanzania, Lake Natron is fed by mineral-rich hot springs and is less than three meters deep. This breathtaking location is located just north of the Ngorongoro Crater and is part of Africa’s vast Great Rift Valley, which is 600 metres above sea level.
