Lake Natron is called this way because of the presence of the natural compound of sodium carbonate hydrate (in fact Natron) within its waters. # Natron: the sodium carbonate hydrate that kills Credits: Natron However, you should not imagine the classic blue lake, but rather a basin of reddish water with deep white streaks typical color of those lakes rich in sodium and often subject to evaporation cycles.
