Few things are as fresh and soothing as translucent water surface lakes. Beautiful lakes delight and beckon to you, and the thrill of diving in deep, calm water is incomparable with anything else in the world. But as many beautiful, seductive gifts of nature are in the world, there are just as many lakes that pose a mortal danger. This danger lies in creatures hiding in the depths, in poisonous gases and radiation, and other harmful factors. Sometimes such lakes appear due to the fault of man, but often it is also the result of the work of Mother Nature. I present to you a selection of the most dangerous lakes in the world.
Boiling lake
The name speaks for itself. Located in Dominica, beautiful Caribbean island This lake is actually the second largest natural hot spring on earth. The water temperature in the boiling lake reaches 90 degrees Celsius and there are hardly any people who want to check the temperature of the source on their own skin. It is enough to look at the photos and it becomes clear that the water is practically boiling here. The temperature cannot be controlled because it is the result of a crack in the bottom of the lake through which hot lava is spewing out.
Lake Powell
Despite its common name (Horseshoe), Lake Powell near Mammoth Lakes is a fearsome killer. The city of Mammoth Lakes was built on top active volcano and this is not best location... However, the lake was considered safe for many years. But about 20 years ago, the trees around Horse's Horseshoe began to dry up and die abruptly. After ruling out all possible diseases, scientists decided that the trees were choking on the excessive levels of carbon dioxide slowly oozing through the ground from underground chambers of cooling magma. In 2006, three tourists took refuge in a cave near a lake and suffocated from carbon dioxide.
Lake Karachay
Located in beautiful Ural mountains Russia, this dark blue lake is one of the most dangerous bodies of water in the world. During a secret government project, for many years starting in 1951, the lake was used as a dumping ground for radioactive waste. This place is so toxic that a 5-minute visit can make a person nauseous, and a longer visit of an hour is guaranteed to be fatal. During a drought in 1961, the wind carried toxic dust that affected 500,000 people - a tragedy comparable to atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima. Definitely one of the most polluted places on Earth.
Lake Kivu
This lake is located on the border between the Democratic Republic of Congo and Rwanda, with large layers of carbon dioxide at the base of the volcanic rock, as well as 55 billion cubic meters of methane at the bottom. This explosive combination makes Lake Kivu the deadliest of the three exploding lakes in the world. Any earthquake or volcanic activity can pose a lethal threat to the 2 million people living in this region. They can die from both methane explosions and carbon dioxide asphyxiation.
Lake Michigan
Of the five Great Lakes bordering Canada and the United States, Lake Michigan is the deadliest. The warm, attractive lake is a popular holiday destination for numerous tourists, despite its dangerous underwater currents, which claim at least several lives every year. The shape of Lake Michigan makes it particularly prone to dangerous currents that arise spontaneously and abruptly. The lake becomes more dangerous in the fall, October and November, when there are sudden and significant changes in water and air temperature. In this case, the height of the waves can reach several meters.
Lake Mono
One of the most developed ecosystems in the world, Lake Mono is located in the California county of the same name. This ancient salt lake has no fish, but trillions of bacteria and small algae thrive in it. unique waters... Until 1941 it is amazing beautiful lake was healthy and strong. But Los Angeles intervened, which was just beginning its giant growth spurt. The city drained the tributaries of the lake, which began to dry up. This scandalous destruction natural resources continued for almost 50 years and when it was stopped in 1990, Mono Lake had already lost half of its volume and its salinity had doubled. Mono became a toxic alkaline lake filled with carbonates, chlorides and sulfates. Los Angeles decided to correct its mistake, but the restoration project will take decades.
Lake Manun
Located in the Oku Volcanic Field in Cameroon, Lake Monoun appears to be a perfectly normal body of water. But its appearance is deceiving, as it is one of three explosive lakes on earth. In 1984, Monoun exploded without warning, releasing a cloud of carbon dioxide and killing 37 people. Twelve of the victims were traveling in a truck and stopped to watch the aftermath of the explosion. It was at this moment that lethal gas did its job.
Lake Nyos
In 1986, Lake Nyos, located just 100 kilometers from Lake Monoun, exploded after a magma eruption and released carbon dioxide, converting the water to carbonic acid. As a result of a powerful landslide, the lake abruptly emitted a giant cloud of carbon dioxide, killing thousands of people and animals in local cities and villages. The tragedy was the first known major suffocation caused by natural phenomenon... The lake continues to pose a threat because its natural wall is fragile, and even the slightest earthquake can destroy it.
Lake of the Ozark
While Lake Ozark seems like a serene getaway with cool breezes and chirping birds, the opposite is true. Without any water guards, large racing boats and cruisers zip through the area at great speed, posing a deadly threat to smaller boats and bathers. Fatal accidents occur here every year. To aggravate the situation, colonies were discovered here colibacillus partly due to a local restaurant dumping sewage into the lake. Lake of the Ozarks is ranked as the third most dangerous waterway in America, after Atlantic Ocean and the Colorado River.
Lakes can be special places that make you remember family vacations or unforgettable summer camps. But not all lakes have the charm of coastal trees. Some lakes become luscious when adverse weather approaches, and those that feed on glacial springs can be dangerously cold (albeit crystal clear).
And also there are lakes that are deadly. Some of them are so insidious that even being on the shore can be fatal. Acidic water or volcanic fumes are serious threats, and there are examples of lakes with high concentrations of gases that literally explode.
Here are some lakes to stay away from:
Lake Kawah Ijen, Indonesia
Ijen Volcano is an Indonesian volcano with the largest acid lake in the world. The water in the crater ponds is a bright turquoise color. However, swimming here is not worth it. Not only does the acidity in this lake overshadow lemon juice, but the water is more dangerous than battery acid. The lake influences local life in the region. Even far downstream farmers are faced with abnormal pH levels in their irrigation water. Closer to the volcano, miners are working to collect sulfur. The presence of toxic gases makes this a very dangerous job, especially since most workers do not wear masks, but only cover their faces with cloth.
The sulfur inside Ijen ignites when it comes in contact with air. This creates a unique phenomenon: the gases burn with a strong blue flame. This is a dangerous yet exciting night light show.
Laguna Caliente, Costa Rica
Poas Volcano, in central Costa Rica, has two crater lakes. Lake Botos is located in an inactive crater that has not erupted for thousands of years. It's a nice place with clean water surrounded by dense fog. Another crater lake, Laguna Caliente, differs significantly from it. It is one of the most acidic lakes in the world, with more acid than a car battery. Obviously, you don't want to swim in the water, but the lake can create acid rain and acid fog that can affect people even if they are not near the coastline.
It is often impossible to approach this lake. Poas is still one of the most active volcanoes in Costa Rica. Eruptions and activity within the volcano can cause hazardous emissions of gases and ash. For security reasons, the authorities in national park The surrounding volcano often has a 3 km perimeter around the crater.
Lake Nyos, Cameroon
One of the deadliest lake disasters in recent history occurred in northern Cameroon in 1986. The catastrophe was caused by a rare event known as the "limnological catastrophe". This phenomenon occurs when dissolved CO2 in deep lakes suddenly erupts from the water due to a change in pressure. This eruption creates a large cloud of carbon dioxide that can suffocate animals and humans because the carbon displaces all the oxygen. The 1986 eruption in Lake Nyos killed more than 1,700 people. The gas cloud is reported to have spread at a speed of over 100 km / h, over a distance of about 25 km from the lake shore.
Another lake in Cameroon, Lake Monoun, experienced a similar but less deadly eruption in 1984. As a result of this disaster, 37 people died. Both lakes are currently a degassing site that aims to prevent future problems. Lake Monoun is reportedly safe now because all the gas has been removed, but the larger lakes of Nyos continue to extract it.
Boiling Lake, Dominica
Lake Boiling is a boiling body of water on the island of Dominica in the Caribbean. The lake is a fumarole, a hole in the earth's crust that is flooded with sediment and is fed by two small streams. Underwater lava and gases from a nearby volcano heat the water. Around coastlines scientists measured the temperature from 82 to 92 °. However, they were unable to get readings from the middle of the lake, where the water is actively boiling.
The lake is popular place for tourists who have to walk for several hours to get to the place. It is the second largest boiling lake on Earth. (The largest is Frying Pan Lake in New Zealand.) A cloud of steam usually hovers over the lake, and depths, believed to be in excess of 60 meters, can fluctuate with rainfall.
Lake Kivu, Congo and Rwanda
Lake Kivu is located on the border of the Democratic Republic of the Congo with Rwanda. Its area is estimated at more than 2,700 km², and maximum depth exceeds 480 m. Like Lakes Monoun and Nyos in Cameroon, carbon dioxide emissions have occurred on the Kivu, but recently this dangerous phenomenon has not been observed. Scientists have found evidence suggesting such emissions occurred about once every millennium. Due to the amount of CO2 and methane in the lake, as well as the densely populated coastline, the "limnological disaster" will take many lives. more people than were taken away by two disasters in Cameroon.
Energy companies extract methane from the lake for use as fuel. This has helped to meet Rwanda's rapidly evolving energy needs as well as reduce the risk of a future eruption. However, there are questions as to whether production will upset the current pressure balance that traps deadly gases deep underwater. In the Congo, the need for energy makes the gases of Lake Kivu an attractive source of energy, despite the potential risks.
Quilotoa, Ecuador
Lake Quilotoa was formed in the 13th century due to a massive volcanic eruption. This body of water is known for its picturesque turquoise color. It is difficult to get to because the lake is in a difficult area, at an altitude of 3914 m. Most people visit the lake as part of a multi-day hike in the mountainous surroundings.
The greatest danger for tourists is usually altitude sickness. Some of the trails around the lake are prone to erosion, so falls are also a problem. Due to the high acidity, there are no living organisms in the lake. Some believe swimming is dangerous due to acidity, while others say colder temperatures at this altitude will harm swimmers before the acid does any damage. Tourists can take a cruise on motor boat on the lake, rent a canoe or kayak.
Mount Rainier Crater, Washington, USA
The crater lake at the top of Mount Rainier is always covered in snow and ice. The lake can only be reached through a cave. These ice caves can prove deadly as they contain hazardous gases such as carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide and hydrogen sulfide. Scientists who are studying and trying to map a cave system must have equipment to track gas emissions to avoid potentially hazardous situations.
The sulfuric acid found in the crater lake literally eats volcanic rocks. Why do people visit such an inhospitable place? Mount Rainier is popular with climbers who often take refuge in caves when the weather at the summit worsens. In addition to volcanologists and explorers, the caves also attract scientists who want to learn about the living organisms that inhabit this harsh environment.
Lake Karachay, Russia
Lake Karachay, located in Chelyabinsk region, in Russia, is the most polluted place on earth. It was used for the disposal of radioactive waste from the Mayak production association. Radiation levels were so high that in the early 1990s, anyone who stood by the lake could live for no more than 60 minutes.
In an attempt to control the fallout, authorities began filling the lake with cement. This project began in 1986 and appears to have been somewhat successful. In nearby settlements there has been a decrease in radiation-related illnesses and birth defects, and water in downstream rivers has become significantly cleaner. However, the project to test local groundwater is still at an early stage, and parts of the lake, which are largely cemented, remain highly polluted.
I would like to quit all business in this stuffy city and escape from the August heat to the beach, closer to the water, but there is no way? We suggest you take a look at our selection - perhaps the desire will disappear.
Lake of Death, Italy
The island of Sicily, famous for the destructive power of Mount Etna and the equally frightening, although not on display, power of the mafia clans, has one very dangerous attraction. The waters of the Lake of Death, which are essentially not waters at all, but concentrated sulfuric acid, are so destructive that, according to rumors in Sicily, Cosa Nostra used this place to hide the corpses of its unlucky enemies. In a matter of minutes, a deadly reservoir, fed by two underground sources with H2SO4, destroys any organic matter, leaving only a lifeless space around.
Rio Tinto river, Spain
Red as blood, the waters of the Rio Tinto River, which originates in the Spanish province of Huelva and flows through Andalusia, are unattractive not only outwardly. Due to the high concentration of metals coming from copper, silver and gold mines, this body of water has earned the fame of one of the most acidic places on Earth. Water, the pH-factor of which fluctuates within 1.7-2.5 and practically corresponds to the acidity of gastric juice, is dangerous for any living creature. The only inhabitants of the "Martian River" are the favorite aerobic bacteria extremophile, which feeds on iron.
Lake Black Hole, Russia
A few years ago, according to the instructions of the President of the Russian Federation, the swampy Black Hole Lake, located between Nizhny Novgorod and Dzerzhinsky, should have been covered with sand and razed to the ground. The reason for such a barbaric attitude towards the reservoir is simple - this object of socialist heritage, saturated with wastes from the Plexiglas plant, is recognized as one of the most polluted in the world. The stench emanating from the Black Hole is so strong that it even interrupts the fumes from the fires that engulf Russia on hot summer days, and the liquid that fills the lake at all resembles a caustic black tar that sucks in all living things.
Yangtze River, China
The third longest river in the world, second only to the Amazon and the Nile in length, surpasses them in another, not at all positive quality. Due to the fact that 17 thousand Chinese settlements located along the banks of the Yangtze do not have purification systems, all their waste is discharged into the reservoir without filtration. Numerous chemical plants, steel and oil refining complexes, as well as regular transportation of dangerous goods, do not add purity to the river. According to the most conservative estimates, the volume of polluted water in China's main waterway reaches 34 billion tons and continues to grow.
Lake Karachay, Russia
Until recently, one hour spent on the shores of Lake Karachay in the Urals was enough to meet a painful death due to 600 roentgen radiation. It is all the fault of the explosion that occurred at the storage of fission materials at the Mayak combine in 1957 and caused the unprecedented pollution of the Techa River and its cascade of ponds. Although every year the company receives several million rubles to eliminate the consequences of the disaster, groundwater continues to spread deadly radiation. Fortunately, according to recent studies, the situation in the Karachay Lake area is gradually improving.
Amazon River, South America
Boiling Lake, Dominican Republic
The lake, located near the Valley of Despair in the Morne Trois Pitons Dominican National Park, is notorious. If you accidentally plunge into dry season, you can easily boil alive, repeating the path of the annoying king from "The Little Humpbacked Horse". The water temperature in the center of Boiling Lake, shrouded in thick white steam, reaches 92 ° C and is only suitable for making tea. This body of water has caused so many accidents that even during the rainy season, when the lake becomes relatively cool, it is strictly forbidden to swim here.
Ganges river, India
The Indian epic "Ramayana" tells that the waters of the sacred river Ganges are endowed with the power to bring the dead back to life and get rid of ailments. Unfortunately, the reality is far from myths: main river India is on the list of the most littered bodies of water in the world. Waste from numerous industries and feces from overcrowded cities flock here. Even swimming in the Ganges, the number of enterobacteria in which is 120 times higher than the norm, leads to infectious diseases and annually causes the death of thousands of people. The ritual burial of bodies in Varanasi is added to the problems that hinder the cleaning of the sacred reservoir.
Lake Onondaga, USA
In the 19th century, Lake Onondaga, located near the American Syracuse, was a popular vacation spot. A century later, the reservoir, which had fallen under the influence of technical "progress", found itself on the brink of an ecological catastrophe. In 1901, Onondaga water, saturated with nitrates, phosphates, mercury and pathogenic bacteria due to the discharge of industrial waste, was banned from use in the food industry. Swimming was vetoed in 1940 and fishing was vetoed in 1970. After the ban on waste emissions, the installation of treatment facilities and the adoption of the law on clean water, the situation with the lake is gradually improving, but it will take a very long time for the reservoir to be cleaned.
River Tsitarum, Indonesia
With the advent of advanced technologies along the banks of the once picturesque, and now one of the most slagged rivers in nature, located on the island of Java, more than half a thousand factories have grown. The body of water, formerly a source of income for numerous anglers, has become home to other hunters - trash catchers. Dirty water, teeming with bacteria and invisible under a thick layer of domestic and industrial waste, is still used for drinking and irrigating fields. Scientists predict: in the coming years, the pollution of the Citarum will reach a critical level and may lead to the shutdown of the largest hydroelectric power station in Java.
As you probably know, our world is 70% water. We drink it, bathe in it, grow food with its help, and in general we exist thanks to it. But there are some bodies of water on Earth that are very dangerous not only for humans, but also for all living things, be it trees or animals. In this video, we present to your attention a list of lakes and rivers that can seriously harm or even kill us. So, these are the 10 most dangerous bodies of water on the planet.
10 of the most creepy lakes on our planet
Thousands of lost lives mysterious inhabitants, poisonous waters - it's all about the terrible bodies of water on our planet. Even lovely-looking lakes with transparent water sometimes pose a great threat to those who decide to swim in it or even settle with a tent on the shore. We have selected ten of the most terrible lakes on our planet.
1. Nios (Cameroon)
Lake Nyos can be called a mass murderer. It became known all over the world because of the terrible event that took place on August 21, 1985. A cloud of asphyxiant gas rose from the lake, which killed 1,746 residents of neighboring villages. All livestock, birds and even insects died along with people. Scientists from all over the world who arrived at the scene of the tragedy established that the lake is located in the crater of a volcano, which everyone believed to be asleep. Carbon dioxide entered the water through the cracks from the bottom. Having accumulated the maximum concentration, the gas began to escape to the surface in huge bubbles. The wind carried the cloud of gas to the settlements, where it destroyed all living things. Scientists say that carbon dioxide continues to flow into the lake and another release can be expected.
2. Blue Lake (Kabardino-Balkaria, Russia)
Blue karst abyss in Kabardino-Balkaria. Outside, not a single river flows into the lake; it is fed by underground springs. The blue color of the lake is due to the high content of hydrogen sulfide in the water. The fact that no one has been able to figure out its depth makes this lake creepy. The fact is that the bottom consists of an extensive system of caves. Researchers have still not been able to figure out what the low point of this karst lake... It is believed that under the Blue Lake there is the largest system of underwater caves in the world.
3. Natron (Tanzania)
Lake Natron in Tanzania not only kills its inhabitants, but also mummifies their bodies. On the shores of the lake there are mummified flamingos, small birds, bats. The most eerie thing is that the victims freeze in their natural positions with their heads raised. It was as if they froze for a moment and remained so forever. The water in the lake is bright red because of the microorganisms living in it, closer to the shore it is already orange, and in some places it is of a normal color. Vapors from the lake scare off large predators, and the absence of natural enemies attracts a huge number of birds and small animals. They live on the banks of the Natron, reproduce, and after death they mummify. A large number of hydrogen contained in water and high alkalinity contribute to the release of soda, salt and lime. They do not allow the remains of the inhabitants of the lake to decompose.
4. Brosno (Tver region, Russia)
Not so far from Moscow, in the Tver region, there is Lake Brosno, in which, according to local residents, an ancient lizard lives. Like the famous Nessie, who has gained worldwide fame. As in the case of the inhabitant of the Scottish lake, the Brosno monster was often seen, but no one managed to get a single clear picture. Studies of the reservoir did not lead to anything specific. Scientists suggest that the origin of the legends about the ancient monster was the unusually deep depth for a small lake and the decomposition processes at the bottom, which sometimes lead to the formation huge bubbles hydrogen sulfide. The escaping gas is capable of easily overturning a small boat, which can be mistaken for a monster attack.
5. Michigan (USA)
Lake Michigan is one of the five great lakes scattered across the United States and Canada. Few people know that this body of water has ruined hundreds of lives. They did not see an ancient monster here, the water here is far from dead, but nevertheless the lake is very dangerous. It's all about unpredictable underwater currents. They carry a huge risk for those who come to swim on the shores of Michigan, and there are many of them in the warm season. Underwater currents carry people away from the coast, and if a person falls into his power, then it is almost impossible to cope with him. It becomes especially dangerous on the lake in autumn. Due to spontaneously occurring currents on the water surface, huge waves from which seafarers suffer in the first place.
6. Dead Lake (Kazakhstan)
A lake with an eerie name is located in Kazakhstan. Local residents have long been trying to bypass it, considering the reservoir cursed. Anyone here will tell you a few scary stories about the mysterious disappearances of people, and not even necessarily in the lake itself. According to locals, there are countless drowned people at the bottom. Moreover, all the missing are visiting tourists who know nothing about the notoriety of the Dead Lake. By the way, this name does not come from mysterious disappearances, but because of the unusual properties of water. There is no life in the lake. No fish, no frogs, nothing. In addition, the water remains extremely cold even in the hot season, and the size of the lake does not decrease. And this at a time when other bodies of water in this region dry up almost twice from the heat.
7. Lake of Death (Italy)
We know about Sicily thanks to the famous Sicilian mafia and the Etna volcano located on the island. But there is another (no less dangerous) attraction - the Lake of Death, the water of which contains a high concentration of sulfuric acid. Life is impossible here by definition. Any organism that gets into the local water dies in a matter of minutes. According to rumors, the Italian mafia used this lake to destroy the unwanted. The bodies of those who rejected the Offer, Which Cannot Be Refused, now form part of the Lake of Death. True or not, no one can say, because the water has dissolved all the evidence.
8. Karachay (Russia)
Lake Karachay in the Urals is considered one of the most polluted in the world. Staying on the shore of the lake for a couple of hours is enough to receive hundreds of X-rays of radiation and die a painful death. Once living lake was destroyed in the fifties, when it began to be used as a storage for liquid radioactive waste. Now the water level has dropped dramatically, revealing huge contaminated areas of the lake. The state annually allocates large funds to reduce the level of radiation in the reservoir. In the coming years, they plan to completely fill it up, but this does not solve the problem of groundwater contamination.
9. Boiling Lake (Dominican Republic)
This lake is called boiling because it is in literally boils. The water temperature reaches 92 degrees Celsius. If you swim in such water, you can easily boil alive. The surface is enveloped in thick white vapor. Swimming in this lake is strictly forbidden, even during the rainy season, when the temperature drops. From under the water, jets of hot air (or even lava) periodically beat out from under the water, so a swim in such a reservoir may be your last. The lake is located in the crater of a volcano and is constantly heated.
10. Empty lake (Russia)
Lake Empty is located in Western Siberia in the Kuznetsk Alatau region. It got its name due to the fact that there is no life in it, and the plants next to it rot. It would seem that this is not news at all, there is no life in the Dead Sea either. But the composition of the Empty water does not differ much from the surrounding water bodies. Moreover, quite live rivers flow into it, but the fish are capricious and do not swim into the Empty. Local residents even tried to populate the lake with crucian carp, but all of the schools of fish soon died. Scientists tried to investigate the phenomenon of this reservoir, but they could not explain its lifelessness.
Nature is able to create truly beautiful and mysterious places... Previously, such places were given a mystical color. V modern world most of the "mystical" explanations have been destroyed by science. The online magazine Factinteres has collected for you 8 of the most dangerous bodies of water, which would be best avoided.
Boiling lake, Dominican Republic
This lake in the Dominican Republic could become popular thermal spa... However, the water temperature is around 90 degrees Celsius. It becomes obvious why you can't swim here. Moreover, the authorities prohibit even approaching this reservoir. The fact is that periodically a mixture of lava and boiling water escapes from the depths of the reservoir. It looks nice, but it is not recommended to be around.
Rio Tinto, Spain
The Rio Tinto River has a beautiful red water color. However, this beauty is dangerous to humans. The fact is that the redness of the water occurs due to the high concentration of iron and copper. The concentration is so high that not a single species of fish can be found in the river.
The appearance of the red tint of the water is due to the extraction of minerals near the river. Mining began in this area over 100 years ago. During this time, the river became very dirty, and now it is forbidden even to approach it.
Citarium, Indonesia
The Chitarum River was an ordinary river. At one time, the river began to be used for industrial purposes, and in agriculture, and for water supply. All this brought the river to the point that it became a real garbage dump. Samples from this river make you wonder, because the level of contamination is very high. By the way, more than 5 million people live in the river bed.
Kivu, Africa
The Kifu River looks very beautiful. She is a lovely blue. However, this beauty is deceiving and poses a danger to humans. This is because there is a lot of carbon dioxide and methane under the water column. Everything would be fine if the lake was not in the area volcanic activity... This means that a very violent explosion can occur at any moment. A similar thing happened earlier, when, as a result of volcanic activity, the lake boiled and all the living creatures were simply boiled.
Karachay, Russia
This river was not initially dangerous. However, in October 1951, liquid radioactive waste was buried in this place. By now, a lot of waste has accumulated and the groundwater has become contaminated.
Potomac, USA
The Potomac River was dangerous to humans from the very beginning. The fact is that there are very strong underwater currents here. Every year, dozens of water sports enthusiasts who want to conquer this river become victims of the Potomac River.
Tualatin River, USA
This river is mesmerizing with its bright green color. However, this color comes from algae, which are deadly to animals. For humans, this river is a little less dangerous, but a fatal outcome is quite possible. At best, the person will feel weak and diarrhea will occur. In the worst case, paralysis or death. Hundreds of animals die in this river every year.
Jacob's Well, USA
Thousands of divers from all over the world come here every year. The cave's winding tunnels attract many divers who love extreme sports. However, these tunnels are not only beautiful but also very dangerous. About 10 people have already become victims of Jacob's Well.
