From the dead animals or the soda? (Hint: It's the soda)

Well irregardless of the rancid smells - the water looks eerily beautiful.

Should change the name to Lake Gorgon.

And, is it just me or do these creatures look like they've been posed postmortem.

Crazy, "blood-red." I've read about this somewhere else before, but coming up on that landscape must be really insane.

They are the cause of the red tide in the ocean.

In 2 of those pics you can see that a plane crashed in the lake. Very mysterioso.

 

[Hyperglide]

Why does it look like the lake has white cracks in it?

 

[Street Level]

This is soooo creepy. It's been suggested that the waters reflection makes them crash. Then extremely high soda and salt content of the water causes them to calcify.

How fucked up is this,
