9. Geamana, Romania
During the 1970’s, copper was discovered in the Apuseni Mountains surrounding the Romanian village of Geamana. In 1977, Communist dictator Nicolae Ceaușescu decided to exploit the huge underground deposit. Engineers needed somewhere to dump wastewater from the new copper mine, named Rosia Poieni. As a result, in 1978, the regime forcibly relocated the 400 families living in the town.

8. Blue Lake, Russia
Located in Kabardino-Balkaria, Russia, Blue Lake is as beautiful as it is mysterious. Nobody truly knows how deep it is, but it’s believed to be one of Europe’s deepest lakes. Unmanned submersibles have gone as far down as 111.25 meters (365 feet) beneath the water’s surface, with some estimates putting the lake’s possible maximum depth at 258 meters (846.5 feet).

7. Gafsa Beach, Tunisia
In August 2014, a lake between 10 and 18 meters (32.8-59 feet) deep appeared out of nowhere from one day to the next! Just overnight in drought-ridden Tunisia. It was discovered by shepherds and named “Lac de Gafsa,” or Gafsa Beach, and quickly became a popular place for people to catch some relief from the heat by taking a swim.

6. Lake Natron, Tanzania
The bright-red Lake Natron in Africa’s Great Rift Valley is the world’s most caustic waterbody. What does this mean? It contains high amounts of alkaline and salt, giving the water a pH as high as 10.5 (almost like ammonia), effectively turning animals and anyone else who might fall in- into stone.

5. Lake Kaindy, Kazakhstan
Crystal-clear Lake Kaindy is nestled in the Tian Shan Mountains of southern Kazakhstan in Kolsai Lakes National Park, near the border with Kyrgyzstan. It’s four kilometers (2.5 miles) long and ranges in color from bright blue to emerald green depending on the light, due to various minerals in the water, including lime.

4. Boiling Lake, Dominica
On the Caribbean island of Dominica, 10.5 kilometers (6.5 miles) east of the capital of Roseau, sits a flooded opening in the Earth’s crust, or a fumarole, appropriately named the Boiling Lake. It’s situated at the bottom of a large basin and is filled with blueish-gray water, with a cloud of vapor constantly emanating from the surface.

3. Lake Nyos, Cameroon
Located in the Northwest Region of Cameroon, Lake Nyos was considered a non-threatening, placid, blue waterbody until August 26, 1986. That evening, nearby villagers went to inspect a rumbling sound and discovered a tall water fountain spouting from the volcanic lake. It was accompanied by a 100-meter-high (328 feet) white cloud of gas that flowed down the valley and through nearby villages.

2. Mono Lake, California
Located 13 miles east of Yosemite National Park in Mono County, California, Mono Lake is a saline soda lake that formed over 760,000 years ago, making it one of the oldest lakes in North America. Due to water coming in, but not going out, the waterbody became highly saline and alkaline, making it inhospitable to most lifeforms, including fish.

1. Lake Karachay, Russia
Russia’s Lake Karachay is considered one of the most polluted places on the planet. It has an extremely high radioactive waste content. In 1990, standing on the shore for just an hour would administer a potentially deadly dose of radiation. Lake Karachay is located in the Ural Mountains near Mayak Production Association, one of Russia’s largest nuclear production facilities, which existed in secrecy until 1990.
