Stay Out Of Lakes Near Hot Volcanoes

How can we best describe a lake located in a hot environment, especially those near volcanoes that never cools down? Well, think of it as a shaken soda can ready to pop. Below the ground, the magma is probably putting carbon dioxide into the bottom of the body of water where there is plenty of pressure. It is hot all the time, so the lake does not mix and the gas does not get any release. However, a disturbance in the form of an earthquake or heavy rainfall can lead to a limnic eruption! When this happens, water will burst out and harmful carbon dioxide will erupt. Degassing lakes like these are very important.

If you have never seen this phenomenon, you might think it is impossible. However, two wave systems running into one another will often lead to this bizarre ocean pattern. Wind shifting is one cause of this, especially when it creates the so-called “cross sea”. It might look cool, but you should know that it can be very dangerous for surfers, swimmers, and ships. Below the surface, they have a strong current that can take you out to the sea. The condition makes it hard for navigating boats to cross and even leads to shipwrecks.
