Notes:
Today in class we read an article entitled African Lava Lake Naturally Mummifies Birds and Animals. With thousands of beautiful flamingos crowding around, at first glance Lake Natron, a salt lake in Northern Tanzania looks like your typical picturesque African landscape. But look closer and you will find something eerily unusual - Perfectly preserved dead animals strewn all along its shores. And while many have likened the lake to Medusa, the monster from Greek mythology who turned anyone that looked her in the eye to stone, most experts assert that the lake itself is not deadly.
In fact, the shallow three meters deep (9.8ft.) body of water supports a robust ecosystem that comprises of flamingos, algae and other salt loving invertebrates and even, two species of fish that thrive in the less salty outskirts. The researchers therefore believe that some of the petrified animals died from natural causes and others, because they got confused by the extremely reflective surface of the water and crashed right in.
The MLB World Series begins tonight! Although our local teams are not in it, the St. Louis Cardinals and the Boston Red Sox should put on a great show!
