This Lake Is Amazingly Beautiful But Don't Swim in It

hmm on the outside the surface of this lake looks like the aftermath of a disaster empty tree trunks spike out of the turquoise waters the lake is surrounded by mountains making it a quiet but unsettling place but those who dare to swim under these dangerous waters will soon discover a whole new world this isn't the beginning of a fairy tale it's the actual story of cayenne d lake located in santi kazakhstan back in 1911 an earthquake caused a major landslide in this location the valley created eventually filled up with rainwater practically submerging the forest the trees that are located above the waters might look very sad but beneath the surface they remind you of an underwater forest since the waters are crystal clear most of the time you can still see this fascinating view even from its shores the ice cold water makes this lake so tricky and at times even dangerous and don't forget about all the algae plants and submerged trees that can rapidly become risky obstacles hey i enjoy a steamy hot bath but this boiling lake i'll tell you about now is really the stuff of scary dreams it's located on the caribbean island of dominica and its waters have temperatures between 180 and 197 degrees fahrenheit and that's just around the edges since no one has ever dared to reach the middle of the lake to measure its core temperature it's true that the heat can go down from time to time but you never know when these waters may start to boil again the place is also dangerous because of the gases it releases such as carbon dioxide it doesn't smell nice trust me but that's mostly because of the sulfur stuck in the steamy air this seemingly calm lake also carries a dangerous surprise lake manon located in west province camaro it's one of the few erupting lakes on the whole planet similar to a volcano and most of the time it does so without any warnings its last eruption dates back to 1894 when it caused serious damage the chemical mechanism of such lakes works like a can of soda that you shake before opening there are risky gases on the bottom of the waters so any disturbance on the surface may trigger their eruption natron lake in tanzania may be beautiful to watch because of its unique reddish coloring but it's definitely not a place you'd want to take a swim in while the water is extremely salty it also combines with algae which by the way are responsible for the coloring and that's not even the riskiest thing about it natron lake has ph levels so high that they become corrosive if you dampen a piece of dyed material in this lake it'll soon be stripped of its color these high levels of acidity can also cause serious problems to the human skin it's not all bad for some creatures as lake natron is the only home to over two and a half million small flamingos these acidic and brackish water support their survival so it's no wonder they like to stick around lake nicaragua's danger factor has less to do with chemistry and more to do with its inhabitants it's located on the border of costa rica in nicaragua and is the largest freshwater lake in central america when you first look at it you won't think it can be dangerous but because of the bull sharks inhabiting it i wouldn't recommend taking a swim sharks tend to be unpredictable and at times intimidating creatures plus they will eat everything if needed scientists initially believe this species of shark was only found in this lake but they soon discovered that people had seen the same sharks in the caribbean sea these astonishing creatures not only cross a distance of over 120 miles to get here but can also adapt to fresh water something not all fish can do belize's great blue hole may seem alluring to divers i mean it has a gorgeous deep blue color and is pretty close to the mainland about 62 miles the problem is that beneath the surface of these tranquil waters is a mixed up series of tunnels which contain many types of coral and other wildlife these caves are what makes diving through the great blue hole tricky more so specialists discover that deeper into the waters there are fewer and fewer creatures why because of a hidden layer of hydrogen sulfide that spans over the whole width of the sinkhole since there's no oxygen no creature can ever survive this deep into the hole lake lanier is the largest lake in the state of georgia it has a lot of visitors each year about 11 million so that's about the same number as visiting the louvre museum in paris despite its popularity a lot of accidents happen on this lake and nobody knows for sure why one of the explanations may lie beneath the surface of this mysterious lake there's a lot of debris and rubble in there along with random objects that have been tossed in like boats lawn chairs and even fishing wire all this creates a tricky underwater obstacle course with the added low visibility on the surface of the lake this place can become risky to navigate another one of those lakes that looks like someone might have overdone with editing is the grand prismatic spring located in yellowstone national park which stretches into the states of wyoming montana and idaho swimming here is completely prohibited why it's 189 degrees fahrenheit in the center almost close to boiling temperatures and the outermost ring reaches around 131 hence the colors since the center of the water is way too hot for any life to make it there's nothing clouding the surface the lack of any living organisms here creates that vivid blue that looks almost painted over on the small mediterranean island of cyprus there's not a lot of rain during the summer that's why some bodies of water here become so dry that in certain areas they get covered in a layer of baked salt it's the case for the larnica salt lake now don't be fooled by the eerie landscape these lands can easily become a trap that's because it's easy to get confused about what's actually a dry surface and what's just a thin layer of salt on top of water or mud more so underneath the crust are salt crystals which can cause problems for people's skin cemeson hole is one of the most dangerous places to swim in the whole of thailand it's because it's very deep reaching 280 feet and gets extremely dark at certain points as divers get lower they can even reach places with zero visibility no wonder a lot of people get confused and can't seem to find their way up anymore the largest lake in africa and the third largest lake in the entire world is called lake victoria not all of its waters are unsafe for people but some regions can rapidly cause problems why particularly because it has its own isolated weather system and that makes the weather really unreliable it can go from bright and sunny to terrible in a matter of seconds i mean who would want to get caught swimming in the middle of a storm right pasteuri lake is located in siberia so i'm guessing i don't need to tell you the waters here get extremely cold but if you look at the lake there's nothing out of the ordinary with these waters is that completely true most likely not and people tend to avoid swimming here at all costs even if they can resist the freezing cold waters so what makes lake pistovi so mysterious and dangerous well nothing seems to want to live here and scientists have yet to discover why they tried to fill the lake with many types of fish and various plant species to see if they could survive in the waters but the results were disappointing since we don't know exactly what makes it so difficult to survive here don't go running for your swimming trunks just yet it's best if you stay away hey you don't have to tell me twice that's it for today so hey if you pacified your curiosity then give the video a
