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.
