How the hell you do lose a lake?

Posted by nina under Everything Travel Related

Mike of Vagabondish led me to this astounding newsbit from Reuters:

SANTIAGO (Reuters) - A lake in southern Chile has mysteriously disappeared, prompting speculation the ground has simply opened up and swallowed it whole.

“In March we patrolled the area and everything was normal … we went again in May and to our surprise we found the lake had completely disappeared,” said Juan Jose Romero, regional director of Chile’s National Forestry Corporation CONAF.

Uh-huuuh.

That’s a pretty sizable lake…it dried up completely within 2 months? O_O I’ve seen a dried up lake in Australia, but it’s something that’s bound to happen because of the drought they were experiencing.

Starting with a solo weekend trip to Cebu to a backpacking trip in Thailand and Singapore, she finally made it out of Asia and into Australia. After spending close to six months down under, she's happily settled in Manila (for now), intent to explore the best things the Philippines has to offer.
