Natron Lakes 25Aerial views on natron lakes in Kenya and Tanzania Lake Magadi in southern Kenya and Lake Natron in northern Tanzania are both big salt lakes, which means that rain water does not flow out and can only escape by evaporation.

Indian and Southern oceans

This body of work showcases the fragile beauty and the appearance of mostly unknown coastal and ocean landscapes in separate parts

The basis for this remarkable biodiversity is meltwater which has come a long way from the glaciers in small water streams

largely due to the force of gravity

Because of Australias different ecoregions the appearance of its coastline varies a lot and each part has its own beauty

which can be up to one meter deep
