Corrosive lakes Humans are hundreds of kilometers away, and the only living birds and fish coexist, and nature is cruel
Generally speaking, water is the primary condition for a person's survival, and since ancient times, as long as there is water, there will be life. But Africa is a country where water is often scarce, hundreds of miles from an inland lake, and crying children are intimidated by "throwing you into the lake".
Located in the Grand Canyon on the border of Kenya and Tanzania, there are hundreds of rocky inland lakes due to volcanoes and **, people have lived along this river for thousands of years, and the only one called Magadi Lake is the only one, within 100 kilometers around, inaccessible, all kinds of supernatural events emerge one after another. In the 21st century, Lake Magadi is world-famous for its pink lakes and more than 2 million flamingos, and it is also one of Africa's most unique places to explore.
In Nairobi, Kenya, the guide paid £2,200 for an entrance fee, which was a completely exclusive attraction at Lake Magadi and booked for a two-night stay for 4,500 shillings. Now it seems that this is definitely worth the money, at least compared to domestic attractions.
In front of the Magadi Scenic Area, there are many buses parked, most of which are high-end people from Tanzania, Kenya and other countries. Residents can only ride once for £350 (US$21) per person, while staying here for one night will have to pay 2,500 shillings.
During the dry season, the lake is about 100 square kilometers above the surface of the lake, and it is rich in calcium carbonate, which takes on a pink color when baking soda is expelled from the bottom of the lake, and is surrounded by a patch of light pink salt. In the wet season, it can expand to 900 square kilometers and reach up to 14 meters, but it is still clearly visible that the layers of fresh water (salty, inedible) formed by soda (salty, inedible) can still be clearly seen.
After thousands of years of wind and rain, the salt in the lake water has accumulated to more than 40 meters, naturally forming a saline-alkali land 4-10 meters thick, which is why it is known as the most erosive place, and even humans have been forced hundreds of kilometers away.
There are many stories about Lake Magadi in the eyes of Kenyans and Tanzanians, but they all describe it as a lake where there is no grass around the lake, and the seedlings planted are flooded and all the seedlings die when the water level dropsThere are also some people, in the wet season, who will swim in the lake water, because they have encountered the calcium-containing water, their bodies have ulcers, and some people's ** has rotted and died.
As a result, Lake Magadi was considered a "paranormal phenomenon" and was later acquired by the Magadi Soda Company, which mined a large amount of crystal alkali ore for the manufacture of soda ash and industrial salt, and although there was only a seven-month rainy season, sales have been very good.
Flamingos are not a rare species and have been introduced in many parks nowadays, but in Magadi Lake, there are so many flamingos. The tour guide said that there were at least two million heads, but the official figure was three million. What's even more interesting is that Lake Magadi is five to 20 times more salty than normal water, and only small bluetip fish and flamingos survive there, and they feed on the large white algae on the surface of the water.
There are many people who have seen flamingos, but they don't know that this flamingo can still fly, flying in groups, the scene is very shocking, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as "covering the sky and covering the sun".
Another wonder of Lake Magadi is its temperature, which has a maximum of 86 degrees Celsius, and during the rainy season, schools of fish flock to Lake Magady, creating a strange sight: fish are afraid of the heat, and after a short "feast", they return to Lake Natron at the right temperature, and so on.
Everyone was amazed by the stone lodge that the tour guide had prepared for them, which had only been open for less than three months and was located on a hill by the lake, with excellent views and safety. It's a three-minute walk to the lake, where you'll be surrounded by a flock of flamingos. The hotel will also provide visitors with some small fish to eat, as well as some stools for visitors to eat and chat while eating by the lake.
The two-night journey is less than 300 yuan, plus the travel fee from the capital to here, which adds up to less than 600 yuan, such a ** and experience can not be found in the country at all.
