World

4. 1.Blue Lake,
Russia

5. The Blue Lake is one of the most unusual
lakes in Russia. It doesn’t get its water from
rivers or streams instead underground
Springs feed into the lake below its surface.
The blue color comes from the waters
hydrogen sulfide content, the lakes depth has
been measured at 258 metres, deep enough
to submerge the Seattle Space Needle with
nearly 75 metres to spare and due to erosion
of the rock at its lowest depth it’s only getting
deeper. Some scientists believe that blue
lake hides the world’s largest system of

6. 2.Lake
atron,Tanzania

7. Lake Natron Tanzania not only does Lake Natron in
Tanzania kill its inhabitants but it also mummifies their
bodies mummified flamingos small birds and even bats
frequently wash up on the shores of the lake. Even more
horrifying the victims are preserved in stone in their final
poses as if trapped in a brief moment in time. Countless
microorganisms give the water on the shore a bright orange
color slowly fading to a bright red hue moving toward the
center of the lake surface evaporation and fumes from the
lake often scare away large predators attracting large
numbers of birds and . small animals seeking refuge from
their natural enemies. They live their lives on Neutron
Shores reproduce and mummify after death. Increased
alkalinity and a high concentration of hydrogen in the water
contributes to the regular discharge of soda salt and lime,

8. 3.Lake Michigan, USA

9. Lake Michigan is one of the five Great Lakes shared
between the borders of the US and Canada few
people know that this body of water destroyed
hundreds of lives.There aren’t any monsters and the
water here is far from dead but nevertheless that
doesn’t exclude this massive lake from being
dangerous. It’s all about unpredictable underwater
currents that caused rushing rip tides they’re a huge
risk for swimmers on the shores of Lake Michigan
claiming the lives of a surprising number of victims
especially during the warm season rip tides can
suddenly suck people away from the shore with
incredible force making escape virtually impossible
in some cases. In autumn it becomes especially
dangerous for boats and fishers, as spontaneously
rising currents on the surface of the water can cause
huge life-threatening waves

10. 4. Lake Nyos, Cameroon

11. Lake Nyos in Cameroon rested quietly for centuries providing water
for many neighboring villages but below the surface there hid a
cataclysmic secret, the lake became known all over the world when
the seemingly peaceful waters released a deadly force of nature on
August 21st 1986. A thick cloud of suffocating gas rose from the lake
leaving no survivors, people livestock birds fish and even insects
living near its shores all perished, 1746 human lives were lost
scientists from all over the world arrived at the site of the tragedy
they discovered that the lake had been hiding a volcanic crater
previously thought to be dormant huge stores of carbon dioxide had
suddenly erupted through the cracks at the bottom of the lake into
the water, once the gas accumulated in a critically high
concentration countless noxious bubbles broke on the water’s
surface releasing the lethal gas onto the surrounding population.
Carried by the wind the invisible clouds destroyed all living
creatures nearby, scientists say that carbon dioxide continues to
flow into the lake and people can expect another release

12. 5.Dead Lake, Kazakhstan

13. This lake with a terrifying name is located in
Kazakhstan the locals have long avoided it
believing it to be cursed, locals tell some chilling
stories about mysterious disappearances and not
even necessarily in the lake itself, according to
their stories many have drowned leaving a vast
number of corpses at the bottom of the lake.
Allegedly most of them were visiting tourists
ignorant to the dangers despite what you may
think the name doesn’t originate from
mysterious disappearances but because of the
unusual properties of the water the lake can’t
sustain life no fish no frogs nothing

14. 6. Lake of death, Italy

15. The water contains a high concentration of sulfuric acid as a
result sustaining life is impossible, any organism that enters
the water dies in a matter of minutes it’s rumoured that the
Italian mafia used this Lake to dissolve the bodies of their
victims. The consequences for rejecting offers that can’t be
refused it’s uncertain, if the rumors are true but that must be
because all the evidence was dissolved in the lake.

16. 7. Lake Karachay, Russia

17. Lake Karachay in the Urals is considered one of the most polluted
in the world. A couple hours tan on the shore is basically like
sitting in an x-ray machine for hours without a lead-lined covering,
needless to say the resulting death by radiation poisoning would be
slow and excruciating ly painful. Once a living Lake it was
destroyed in the 50s when it was used as a storage facility for liquid
radioactive waste. Now the water level has fallen sharply revealing
much of the terrain below the surface. The Russian state allocates
huge amounts of money annually to reduce the radiation levels in
the water in the coming years once the water is gone the lake is
scheduled to be filled in but burying the problem won’t solve the
continued groundwater contamination.

18. 8.Boiling Lake, Dominica

19. Republic aptly named
because the water literally
boils, the water
temperature reaches 92
degrees Celsius or 197
degrees Fahrenheit. So
yeah a quick swim could
cook you like a lobster as a
result the surface is
shrouded in thick white
steam and swimming is of
course strictly forbidden.
The lake rests in a volcanic
crater and is constantly
getting hotter even when
the temperature decreases
Jets of hot air or even lava
periodically belch from
the bottom of the lake
