![]() The DisneyNature documentaries vary in quality, while not caring for 'Elephant' and 'Born in China' 'Earth' and 'Oceans' for instances are outstanding. #LAKE NATRON HUMAN DEATHS TV#Still, the overall effect is breathtaking and if you see it, try to see it on as large a TV as possible. Also, biologists might dislike how the narration often becomes much too prosaic and not exactly scientific. My only reservations are that kids might be a bit shook up because nature is pitiless and you see a lot of flamingos die. It's all quite lovely with nice cinematography yet Disney chose not to release this to theaters-though it would have been lovely to see on the giant screen. The film follows the flamingos for a year-as the return to do their courtship rituals, lay and hatch eggs and then grow into adulthood. However, surprisingly, 2.5 million flamingos return to Lake Natron each year-despite it having a pH of 10.5 and being made up of a mixture of ash and salt. Instead of the usual locations like jungles or plains, this one is filmed in the most hellish place in Tanzania-near the Kenyan border in a region made toxic to most life by volcanic ash. Réanimées, vivantes encore dans la mort.This is the first of a new generation of nature documentaries from Disney and they picked a VERY difficult topic to cover. J’ai pris ces créatures que j’ai trouvé sur le rivage, et les ai placé dans des conditions « de vie », afin de les ramener à la «vie», en quelque sorte. La soude et le sel font que les créatures se calcifie, et reste parfaitement conservées. Comme les oiseaux qui s’écrasent sur les fenêtres vitrées, ils s’écrasent dans le lac. Selon Brandt : J’ai découvert ses créatures – toutes sortes d’oiseaux et de chauves-souris – échoués le long de la rive du lac Natron dans le nord de la Tanzanie. Nick Brandt les a photographié, à découvrir dans son nouveau livre, terre ravagée, créatures pétrifiée jonche la région autour du lac en raison de son pH constant de 9 à 10,5 – une alcalinité très basique qui préserve ces créatures pour l’éternité. Situé en Tanzanie, ce lac porte un lourd et mortel secret, tout animal quil le touche devient “pierre”.Ĭe phénomène rare est causée par la composition chimique du lac, et les créatures pétrifiées qu’il laisse derrière lui sont tout droit sorti d’un film d’horreur. Tout animal qui touche ce lac se transforme en pierre. Or, you could go and visit for yourself-but keep a safe distance from the water, please. The rest of the haunting images follow and they feature in Brandt’s book, available here. I took these creatures as I found them on the shoreline, and then placed them in ‘living’ positions, bringing them back to ‘life’, as it were. The soda and salt causes the creatures to calcify, perfectly preserved, as they dry. The water has an extremely high soda and salt content, so high that it would strip the ink off my Kodak film boxes within a few seconds. No-one knows for certain exactly how they die, but it appears that the extreme reflective nature of the lake’s surface confuses them, and like birds crashing into plate glass windows, they crash into the lake. I unexpectedly found the creatures – all manner of birds and bats – washed up along the shoreline of Lake Natron in Northern Tanzania. Photographed by Nick Brandt in his new book, Across the Ravaged Land,petrified creatures pepper the area around the lake due to its constant pH of 9 to 10.5-an extremely basic alkalinity that preserves these creatures for eternity.
