      It isn't the deadliest lake in the world. Assuming you don't drown, you could survive in it pretty well. In Lake Karachay, 1 hour would cause you to die of radiation poisoning. Frying Pan Lake is almost boiling, and Lake Nyos and Kivu literally explode.

    *For clarification since most of yinz didnt watch the entire video:*
    You can actually swim in the lake when the water temperature is cool enough but you should be careful of getting the water in your mouth, nose, eyes or an open wound as it would be extremely painful...you also should watch your step due to the jagged floor.
    If you drown in the lake, your body will turn to stone OVER TIME.

    I seem to remember back in the 1960's, as a child we were taught that the Dead Sea was the only known cure for a certain type of Athlete's Foot, as the toxic salinity and different kinds of stuff in the lake would kill the fungus. Now days, we have stuff that will do that, but I have to wonder if Lake Natron would clear up Athlete's Foot as well.

      In a way he answered the question just did not spoon feed as you would have liked. The facts that were stated about flamingo's certainly do not apply to us or you have any doubts? Let me break it down for you, what happens after you spend fifteen minutes in a bath with salts in it or just plain water? Your skin wrinkles up, that is ,because you have soft delicate skin unlike those flamingos therefore what would bother you does not bother them. Do you think you have strong enough stomach to eat toxic algae? certainly not, a reason its called toxic. Do you have glands that can filter salt water like a water filter and turn it into more neutralized form? I think not. Think before you comment, the purpose of this video wasn't children fundamentals for 4+ year old. Bottom line, he answered the question without answering it directly. You must be new generation, you think with ass before the gray matter kicks in (part of the brain responsible for decision making).

    Here’s one. What if humans had evolved as the size of insects? Could we have survived over the millennia’s or would we have been wiped out by insects or nature? Would we have higher technology by this point or would we have never gotten out of the Stone Age? How many of us would be on the planet? Would there be more variety of races and maybe even humans that are now extinct like Neanderthals still around? Would more insect species be extinct due to over hunting? Could we domesticate insects to do the heavy hauling and get us around faster? Think about it, humans are larger than the vast majority of life forms on the planet but what if...

    I've been there (to Lake Natron)! Well...close enough to see it, anyway (it wasn't pink then, as I visited just after one of the rainy seasons, so the water level was rather high, and the alkalinity was rather low). I went to Tanzania primarily to climb the volcano Ol Doinyo Lengai (unlike most people, who go there to climb Kilimanjaro...man, that's been extinct for like, half a million years; Lengai has been erupting almost consistently since the '60s at least - SO much more interesting). Like the video says, this is actually the source of the alkaline minerals that turn this lake into a caustic hellhole - the natrocarbonatite* it erupts (usually as lava flows), is black in daylight (though it glows red at night), both as a flowing liquid, and a solidified flow...the solid lava flow then turns white on exposure to rain, or even just the moisture in the air for a couple of days, and gradually weathers to a brown, sandy material over a period of a few months. Because of this partial dissolution in the presence of moisture, alkali carbonate salts tend to contaminate all shallow water sources (though if the concentration gets high enough, it will start to precipitate out of solution). The village of Engare Sero (adjacent to the volcano and a couple km from the lake) is fortunate that there is a deeper groundwater source in the area that is uncontaminated by these (toxic - at these high concentrations at least) carbonate ions - it exists below an impermeable cap of rock that prevents meteoric water from percolating into it, taking with it the sodium carbonate from the surface.
    It's too bad that the lava flows on Lengai are currently not easily accessible to people, being at the bottom of a very deep and dangerous crater. When I went, you could climb the volcano fairly easily (it's not "walk in the park" easy, but a motivated person could get to the top in 5 or 6 hours) and just walk into the crater, no big deal (we even CAMPED in the crater for a night - 2 months later, that campsite was buried under 10 feet of lava). Now...the climb is so much harder, and you'd need oxygen tanks and climbing gear to even THINK about entering the crater. Oh well...another 15 or 20 years and the crater will be full of lava and accessible again, and then...I'm there!
    I count that trip as the best one I've ever taken (no contest). Nearly 3 weeks of pure adventure...and lions, cheetahs, hyenas, elephants, rhinos, zebras, gazelles, baboons, wildebeest, buffalo, hippopotami and giraffes aplenty (seriously - even though the cost of JUST the park entry passes for Serengeti and Ngorongoro was something like ~100 USD per day at the time, the experience you get is impressive enough that you just don't care about the cost - it's the best money you'll EVER spend). I highly recommend the country to anyone who is looking for an adventure (even in the absence of an accessible Lengai). It's phenomenal.
    *This natrocarbonatite is SUPER unique (one of the reasons I spent over 2,000 USD, in 2006 dollars, on a Tanzanian trip...I've seen 7 other erupting volcanoes in my life, plus half a dozen that were very active but not erupting at the exact moment I visited, but Lengai is, hands down, the weirdest volcano on Earth)...it is ONLY erupted at this one location at present, and the vast majority of the small number of total known places where this magma has been erupted in the past are also in the vicinity of Lake Natron (mainly to its south).

    The one image of the charcoal colored corpse that was used several times in this video was not found near lake Natron. The bright red hair is a clue to where it was found. That is one of the bog people that were found in the swamps of Ireland, hence the red hair.
    The throats of these corpses had been slashed ear to ear. Researchers don’t believe it was from battle or execution, instead they believe these people were offerings to the Druid gods. After having their throats cut, they’re tossed into the bogs which have an acidic quality, cool temperatures and low oxygen content that perfectly preserves the human body.
    The only noticeable effect is the discoloring of the skin, which it turns to a charcoal color. These mummies were featured on the cover of National Geographic back in the 1980s and I remember being fascinated with how much detail of their skin and facial features were preserved. The skin was so well preserved that scientist were able to extract perfect DNA from the mummies to help understand the people of that time period in Ireland over 2,000 years ago.
    You can clearly see every pore in their skin. Those bogs create the most detailed mummies I have ever seen.
