A trip to Lake Magadi, an extreme soda lake in Kenya's Rift Valley with a pink-tinted crust of trona (soda ash) and a resident flamingo population adapted to its harsh, alkaline conditions.

Magadi's surface crust of soda ash, mined commercially at one end of the lake, creates one of the most visually extreme landscapes in Kenya's Rift Valley - alongside Lake Natron in Tanzania, it's one of the region's most alkaline environments, supporting flamingos able to tolerate what would be lethal conditions for most other wildlife.
