More information:

A Maasai herdmen herding goats along the dried up shores of Lake Magadi, Kenya. Lake Magadi is a saline, alkaline lake, approximately 100 square kilometers in size. The lake water, which is a dense sodium carbonate brine, precipitates vast quantities of the mineral trona (sodium sesquicarbonate). In places, the salt is up to 40 m thick. The lake is recharged mainly by saline hot springs that discharge into alkaline "lagoons" around the lake margins. Lake is well known for its wading birds, including flamingos.
