What can a lake get besides water, fish farming with algae? Turns out, there are many lakes still contain very mysterious things.

They challenge all logical reasoning, take us from excitement to awe, and above all to curiosity at its bewildered mystery.

1. Lake Taal, Philippines: Lake in lake

The special of Lake Taal (Philippines) lies in its topography. Lake Taal is the largest lake in the world , surrounding an volcanic island (Volcanic Island or Taal Mountain). The island surrounds a smaller lake. So, Taal can be called a lake inside another lake.

The landscapes found in the Philippines hold its own mysteries - which arouse curiosity among people by anecdotes told for countless generations.

Lake Taal location.

The legend of Taal Lake is tied to a man of the same name, Lakan Taal, who was elected mayor of Taygaytay town. He forbade everyone in the town from anyone to set foot on the far mountain that he showed them, which was a place of extremely rich living. His reputation made no one dare to disobey orders until one fine day, he disappeared. The villagers could not find him, so he ventured to the mountain to ban his search. There, they meet a pit full of precious diamonds and pearls.

While they were scrambling to find the treasure they found, Taal appeared with despair at the traumatic prospect. In his rage, Taal prayed for the calamity that would plague his greedy people. Suddenly the sky turned gray, thunder and earthquakes violently erupted, lava erupted, killing every single survivor. Then the water rose from the lake, swept away all the ruins into the deep water. From then on, this mountain was known as Mount Taal.

2. Lake Hillier - Western Australia: Strawberry milk lake is real

Like in fairy tales, Hillier Lake water is pink like strawberry milk shakes. And scientists have found a reason.

Hillier Lake water is pink like a strawberry milkshake.

That's thanks to a microalgae called Dunaliella Salina living in the lake water. This algae produces its own energy by absorbing all wavelengths of light, but except red and orange.

In addition, the carotenoid pigments (such as the beta carotene found in carrots) that they produce are also responsible for the pink color of the lake.

Hillier Lake water is completely safe to bathe without harming the skin.

Despite its strange colors, Hillier Lake water is perfectly safe to bathe without harming the skin. However, it is extremely salty so should not be taken for serious health effects of the kidney pair.

3. Lake Roopkund, India: Human Skeleton Lake

Lake Roopkund is an ice lake in the heart of the Trishul massif. When the autumn sun began to shine down on the lake, the icing of the ice melted, and hundreds of human skeletons rose above the water.

The time when this was discovered was at the time of war, so there was an assumption that this was the result of the fascist massacre. But according to autopsies, these corpses date back to 850. Moreover, they all died in the same way - something hit hard in the head that broke a skull.

The anecdotes about the lake claim that it was the king, queen, children, the courtiers of Kannaji who went to the Himalayas to hold a grand banquet, which is an invasion of the sacredness of the mountain. The angry Nandedavi, a hail, killed everyone and buried them under Lake Roopkund.

So what was it that could have killed hundreds of lives at once and buried them all deep into the bottom of the lake?

Everything was just a question mark until 2007, Indian, American and German scientists uncovered the mystery. They discovered that no military weapons had appeared, and that the wound was caused by a circular object that fell on its head.

Most of the skeletons with large skeletons should be said to be pilgrims across Lake Roopkund, a small number of skeletons showing the small physique to be concluded as residents there or the guide for the pilgrim group.

The cause of this mass death was a sudden hail or landslide. Some died, some were injured because of the harsh climate, so they could not withstand long.

These skeletons were intact for more than a thousand years due to the low temperatures stored beneath the lake.

4. Lake Natron, Tanzania: deadly trap

Lake Natron is not like in fairy tales, it is a trap for any creature hovering around it - a trap forever unable to escape. And it's real, located in west Africa.

Lake Natron is located in western Africa.

The death it brings is due to the special ingredient in the lake water - too much sodium salt. This pushes the alkalinity in water to a whopping 10 on the pH scale. If an animal were to approach the lake to quench its thirst, the heat (due to its geographic location) would kill it, submerging the body into water. Natron quickly worked, calcified the body and pushed to the surface a statue of bone carved by nature.

There is too much salt in the lake water so the alkalinity in the water reaches a whopping 10 on the pH scale.

Occasionally migratory birds land directly in the lake because they think it is an empty space (the dense chemical composition of the lake water creates an illusion of a white lake surface). Humans have also been deceived, not just animals. The proof is that on December 11, 2007, a group of home documenters about wildlife also because of the mist of the lake with the space had landed their helicopter down there to shoot flamingos.

Suddenly, the helicopter sank and was immediately eroded and the group of people was lucky to escape. They also recorded that: "When we realized that we were landing in a lake, it was time to feel the heat of the lake water like burning eyes . After all had escaped from the helicopter and we have to quickly find a way to get out of the lake because the helicopter keeps smoking and it's about to explode. "
