Survive Your Very Own Emergency With Nature’s Warnings

Watch Out For Lakes Near Volcanoes

If a lake is settled in a very hot environment that never cools and is neighboring any volcanoes, it’s the same as a violently shaken soda can just waiting to explode.

The magma underground might be forcing carbon dioxide into the bottom of the lakes, where there’s a bunch of pressure about to pop. Since it’s hot year round, the lake never processes this and the gas never gets an opportunity to leave. Next time you’re around one of these, tread lightly.
