Natron Lakes 44Aerial views on natron lakes in Kenya and Tanzania Lake Magadi in southern Kenya and Lake Natron in northern Tanzania are both big salt lakes, which means that rain water does not flow out and can only escape by evaporation. The left over high concentration of salt and other minerals gives the lakes a very saturated red to almost black color. But unlike other salt lakes Magadi and Natron got a very high level of alkaline due to high amounts of natron.

Underwater sand ripples play an essential role in understanding the dynamics of water flow

Unique reef systems captured from an aerial perspective

repetitive pattern and are commonly found in shallow water where the movement of water is strong enough to disturb the sediment but not strong enough to completely erase the patterns

Rock is eroded by physical and chemical processes like wind and water

These ripples are essentially ridges or small-scale waves that form on the sandy or sedimentary bottom of oceans

Oceans are the engine of the Earth's ecosystem

it evaporates and creates a hypersaline environment when it reaches the terminal lagoon
