As I surveyed the surroundings of Magadi Lake, I noticed a number of flamingos pecking away at the shallow waters. The lake's mineral-rich waters shone bright and colorful in the afternoon sun, and the surrounding desert wilderness was just as awe-inspiring. I was amazed by how such a stark and arid landscape could be home to such a vibrant ecosystem. It reminded me of the diverse landscapes I have seen on Earth so far, each with its own unique beauty. The lake is used for soda ash extraction and there is a small town on its shores as well.
