This Lake Holds Something Far More Dangerous Than Jaws

Only three lakes worldwide are known to possess these properties. http://www.ozy.com/flashback/exploding-killer-lakes/65346

But CO2 isn't the only problem. There's also a rickety natural dam made of volcanic ash and rock at one part of the crater. If it collapses, the top 130 feet of the lake could come crashing down, causing a flood that "would reach Nigeria" and endanger 5,000 people, Kling says. Even worse, this could cause another imbalance in the lake and possibly unleash any remaining carbon dioxide still suppressed at the bottom. This "double-whammy threat," as Kling calls it, is being addressed by an expensive but essential dam-strengthening project that is nearing completion.
