There's a deceptively still body of water in Tanzania with a deadly secret--it turns any animal it touches to stone. The rare phenomenon is caused by the chemical makeup of the lake, but the petrified creatures it leaves behind are straight out of a horror film.

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.
