Eruptions From the Deep

Submerge

The legend went that evil spirits would infrequently emerge from the lake to take the lives of those around it. Turns out, this isn't all myth; instead, it's grounded in geomythology - when cultures craft myths to explain historic geologic events. In 1986, the lake wrought havoc again, killing nearly 2,000 people overnight in an event called a limnic eruption.
