Lake Natron is a blood red salt lake in Tanzania that is so salty, hot and alkaline (with a pH above 12), that any animal that dies in or near it is calcified, or turned into a salt statue.

The world's largest nature reserve for penguins was created unintentionally.
The Falkland Islands were heavily land-mined in the Falklands War, making the beaches off-limits to humans and large predators. But penguins are not heavy enough to trigger the land mines, so the beaches became a safe haven for thousands of them. — The world's largest nature reserve for penguins was created unintentionally.

The only unknown Olympic gold winner in history was an 8 to 10-year old French boy recruited at the last-minute by the Dutch rowing team to replace their coxswain at the 1900 Olympics. After they won, the boy ran off and was never identified- making him the only unknown Olympic gold winner, as well as the youngest Olympian in history. To this day, no one knows who he really was.
