That link no longer works. And isn't there a Tanzanian name for the lake? Natron sounds like a European-derived name. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1702:1DE0:8FB0:F1D5:44CF:EA7A:D278 (talk) 20:35, 24 January 2021 (UTC)

Deadly Lake?

There is an article about this lake: Any Animal That Touches This Lethal Lake Turns to Stone Is there any collaborating evidence? BruceBarnett (talk) 10:59, 2 October 2013 (UTC)

The headline appears to be an exaggeration. Per this New Scientist article, animals that "become immersed" in the lake do not survive. --Heath 198.82.17.223 (talk) 21:53, 2 October 2013 (UTC)

Variable salinity

I understand that salinity would vary with rainfall and water level. But can the salinity is lower on the margins of the lake?203.184.41.226 (talk) 01:14, 3 October 2013 (UTC)

Alcolapia / endemic fauna

The last sentence in the Fauna section (stating that alcolapia alcalic is not an endemic species to the lake) is directly contradicted by the intro paragraph of the article on alcolapia alcalic (which is linked in the sentence).

I have no idea which is correct but wanted to flag.
