Great Rift Valley, Kenya January 03, 2016: Men collecting soda ash in Lake Magadi, Great Rift Valley, Kenya. Established in 1911 as the Magadi Soda Company, this factory has been producing natural soda ash for over a century. Lake Magadi is the southernmost lake in the Kenyan Rift Valley, north of Tanzania's Lake Natron. The Rift Valley contains a chain of volcanoes, some of which are still active, and many other lakes such as the Turkana, Baringo, Bogoria and Nakuru. During the dry season Lake Magadi is 60% covered by soda and is known for its wading birds. The lake is recharged by saline hot springs that discharge into alkaline lagoons around the lake margins and is very rich in blue-green algae, which feed insects, small crustaceans and massive flocks of lesser flamingos (Phoenicoparrus minor) and may other birds.
