6Lake Natron, Tanzania

The perilous salt lake in northern Tanzania is one of the most caustic areas on earth that calcifies animals into stones. Yes, it’s real! The highly reflective and chemically dense waters of Lake Natron seem like a glass door that dupes hovering birds thinking they’re flying over an empty space. The moment they land on the lake, their body corrodes within minutes.

A few years back, a helicopter pilot became prey to the same illusion and his helicopter crashed and was rapidly corroded by the alkaline water of the deadly lake. The spectacular sight of this scariest lake draws many researchers, photographers, and tourists towards it, however, one needs to be careful while visiting this dangerous spot in Africa. Lake Natron is considered one of the Most Dangerous Places in the World.
