Yes, Humans Can Became Rocks. What??

There is an area so deadly that could turn you to stone.

 The infamous Lake Natron. Before knowing what has happened we will look at what Lake Natron is made up of. Much like the Dead Sea, the Tanzanian lake doesn't mix into any ocean or river, this allows it to soak up all that salty desert rain. It is close to the active volcano, The volcano spews a rare kind of lava that is rich in sodium and potassium carbonate, which is released into the water, this mix of sodium carbonate and sodium bicarbonate were key ingredients that were once used in Egyptian mummification. The whole chemical composition is extremely alkaline, with pH levels of 10.5 close to that of ammonia. This gives the lake its rosy hue. Any birds that take a dive and don't come out become hardened. In 2013, wildlife photographer Nick Brandt who was the first to document this phenomenon. He discovered several stone birds and animals in the dry season when the water had receded. He theorized that, since the lake is like a mirror and reflective, the birds must have flown right into it. Even if so many birds dying in Lake Natron, a particular species is flourishing, which is flamingoes.

 The lake's toxic waters provide a safe haven from predators, making it perfect for flamingo flocking. Flamingoes can live in salty lakes because of their tough skin and scaly legs which prevents burns. They can drink the freshwater from nearby springs, and if they're anguished, they can even filter saltwater with special glands in their nasal cavities. Their strong stomachs allow them to feed on the toxic algae found throughout the lake. This makes Lake Natron the perfect spot to raise and protect their young. Depending on the time of year, the water can be up 60°C (140°F), which is hot enough to cause third-degree burns in five seconds or less. Its shallowness is also chock full of sharp, salty structures. You wouldn't be turned to stone instantly, but if you happened to drown and stay submerged, your entire body would harden and be preserved, like mummification. Natron's super high alkalinity stops the decomposition process. In 2007, another bird flew straight into this chemical cocktail. A group of wildlife videographers plunged into Lake Natron's toxicity when their helicopter crashed. The pilot suffered a broken leg, and another passenger had a broken hip. Incredibly, one of the passengers managed to struggle to shore and alerted some of the Masai tribespeople nearby. We must be very careful in these kinds of situations.
