Chile's National Forestry Corporation (CONAF) has lost a lake.
Seriously...there was a lake situated in the Magallanes region in Patagonia and now its not there anymore.
The lake that was...was about the size of 10 soccer pitches.
It was there in March when the area was patrolle. However, when they went back in May, it was gone, vanished, poof, missing, awol.
The only thing they could find were chunks of ice, a dry lake-bed and an enormus fissure.
A couple of theories -
1. the area was hit by an earth tremor that opened up the ground and swallowed the lake. Yum!
2. the glaciers that melt to supply the lake didn't melt. But...then the global warming activists wouldn't buy that.
Southern Chile has had a few thousand minor earth tremors already this year.
Where do you think the lake went?
