5 Most Unusual Lakes in the World

You may have known about such a large number of lakes, pools or waterway however these 15 strange lakes will give you goosebumps

 

Lava Lake

The volcano Erta Ale is the most active volcano in Ethiopia. It is located below sea level in the desert of Danakil. The constant activity of the volcano continues since 1967. In the crater of the volcano, an amazingly beautiful lava lake could be seen. Periodically, lava flows away from it, forming rivers of fire.

 

Jellyfish Lake

Jellyfish Lake is located in Palau. Because of the isolation from the ocean and low population of predators, the golden jellyfish that live there thrive and reproduce at an amazing rate. Millions of jellyfish migrate from one side of the lake to the other, and back each day as a giant swarm.

 

Lake Superior

When we talk about surfing, we mean the ocean, not a lake, but when the waves of the Great Lakes are high enough, you could actually surf there. Unfortunately, this is possible only in winter, when the water is between 32 and 41 F. The water is so cold that it is necessary to lubricate the face with Vaseline to avoid frostbite. Ice freezes on the clothing, hair, face, and the water is more volatile and unstable than in the ocean. This confirms that the surfers in these waters are the bravest.

 

Dominica’s Boiling Lake

And this is exactly the lake you would not want to surf. Although it is hard to imagine, the Boiling Lake in Dominica is in a state of constant boiling point. Actually, only a whirlpool in the center is boiling, but the water near the shores reaches 160-190 degrees Fahrenheit. Because the lake is under the influence of volcanic activity, you can see very interesting things here.

Lake Hiller

Lake Hiller is famous because its waters are colored in pink. Scientists are still struggling with the mystery that gives it such an unusual color. It has been speculated that the reason is algae, but studies of water samples showed that this is not the case: there is no algae, contributing to a pink color. The lake is surrounded by a belt of white salt and eucalyptus evergreen forest.
