Silverback FilmsĬordey was at the same company as Aeberhard in the 1990s and knew that he would be a major asset. Aeberhard, who lives in Vermont and owns a turkey that appears onscreen during our Zoom call, has filmed Lake Natron before. Cordey speaks highly of him (Aeberhard, not the turkey), and the admiration is reciprocal. “Without Huw's bravery there, we wouldn't have got this particular one off the ground.” “No matter how good your team is, you have to have a producer who's willing to take risks,” says Aeberhard. Two crucial members of the team remained. One was assistant producer Darren Williams. With Cordey tied up in editing the rest of that episode, Williams would be the man at the coalface, charged with tackling the everyday hurdles in East Africa - a job that required a huge amount of perseverance and ingenuity. The lake's temperature can rise to 60 ☌ (140 ☏) in summer! There are also hot springs on its eastern shore.Once the footage had been captured, they needed a world-class editor to wade through it all. This red tinge to the water can even be seen from space! 6. The water of Lake Natron sometimes turns red (or orange-red) because of the algae that thrives in its hypersaline environment. The lake is actually the largest breeding ground in the world for lesser flamingoes! 5.
Flamingoes thrive where others perishįlamingos aren't negatively affected by the bacteria in Lake Natron that harms most other birds. This is a good environment for the growth of a kind of bacteria that damages the innards of the organisms that drink it.
Lake Natron contains large salt, soda and magnesite deposits. Because the water coming into the lake leaches through the volcanic material of nearby Mt Ol Doinyo Lengai, the lake’s water is highly alkaline. The lake has no outlets, and receives most of its water from springs and episodic streams. Lake Natron receives only 400 mm of rain a year, and much of that is ‘phantom rain’ – rain that evaporates before hitting the surface. Here are some facts you'll want to share with others for the wow factor! 1.
