10 Most Dangerous Lakes on Earth

1. Karachi Lake

After being used as a dumping site for radioactive waste for decades, Lake Karachay, located in the
southern Ural mountains in western Russia, has become one of the most polluted spot in the world.
Spending just five minutes near the lake is enough to receive a deadly radioactive dosis, while spending
an hour there will probably kill you within the next few hours. In 1968, during drought conditions, the wind
carried radioactive dust away from the lake’s dried area, irradiating half a million people. The radiation
was comparable to the effect of the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima. Another 7,000 people who lived
in the area were relocated.

2. Lake Rakshastal

Lake Rakshastal (left in the picture above) is a saltwater lake in Tibet, lying close to the
west of Lake Manasarovar. Named “lake of the demon”, Lake Rakshastal produces no waterweeds
or fish and the locals consider it poisonous. It is considered to be the home of the ten-headed
demon king of Lanka in Hindu myth. Lake Manasarovar, shaped like the sun, is regarded as
‘brightness’ in Buddhism, while Lake Rakshastal, shaped as a crescent, represents ‘darkness’.
However, despite its notoriety, the lake bears no less beauty than other Tibetan lakes.

3. Boiling lake

Boiling lake in Dominica is actually a flooded fumarole (a crack through which gases from molten
lava escape), filled with superheated bubbling water that is enveloped in a cloud of vapor.
Since the lake is the second largest hot spring on Earth with the water temperature of
82-91.5 Celsius (180-197 Fahrenheit) measured just at the edges, not only it would be uncomfortable
to swim in, it would kill you if you even got near it. So far, scientists haven’t measured the
temperature in the center of the lake where the water actually boils.

4. Lake Monoun

Lake Monoun, that lies in the Oku Volcanic Field in Cameroon, is the first of only three known
cases of lake overturn. In 1984, the lake exploded in a limnic eruption and released a cloud
of deadly carbon dioxide gas that killed 37 people. A truck carrying twelve people was in the
path of the gas and when the engine suddenly stopped working, the people got out of the truck
to see what was wrong and were all killed. The only survivers in this accident were two persons
riding on the top of the truck as they were above the gas and could still breathe. Two years
later a similar event occurred at Lake Nyos, about 100 km away.

5. Lake Kivu, Rwanda

Situated on the borderline of Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Lake Kivu is
one of the three known exploding lakes and is at serious risk of violent lake overturns. The
lake is considered deadly because there are enormous quantities of dangerous gases
dissolved in layers beneath its surface – carbon dioxide (which has bubbled up from the
volcanic rock), and methane (about 55 billion cubic metres of it) produced by bacteria on
the lake bed. If the volcanic activity triggered a methane explosion or release of suffocating
carbon dioxide, this could cause a disaster of monstrous proportions, since approximately
two million people live in the Lake Kivu’s basin.

6. Mount Rainier Crater Lake, Washington

Mount Rainier’s crater lake, the highest crater lake in North America, lies beneath the ice in
the west summit crater and it can only be reached by following a network of ice caves in the
craters. The water in the crater lake creates sulfuric acid (sulfur dioxide combined with the
water) that is eating into the volcanic rock of Mount Rainier. Most volcanic rocks you find
anywhere else in the world are strong, but in parts of this mountain it can easily crumble in
your hand. If the rock were to collapse in any area, it would cause a slurry of mud, rock
and ice, or so called “lahars,” that can be deadly because of their energy and speed,
causing catastrophic destruction in their path. The collapse of the rock would also breach
the crater lake, letting loose tons of water within it. Mount Rainier and it’s crater lake are
considered a serious threat to people in Seattle, which is only 87 km away from the mountain.

Heavenly Langkawi Bridge

The Langkawi Skybridge is world-class. Clinging to a 700 metre high mountain ridge, the 125 metre long pedestrian bridge offers incredible views of the Andaman Sea. The Langkawi Sky Bridge is located at the ‘end’ of the Cable Car ride. One of the island’s highlights, is a 410ft-long curved pedestrian bridge above Mount Mat Cinchang. Located 2,300ft above sea level, the Sky Bridge is easily accessible by the Langkawi Cable Car. The journey to the top starts out at the Oriental Village in the upper northwest of Langkawi Island, near Pantai Kok.

Top 10 Most Dangerous Volcanoes in the World

Here’s the list of most dangerous volcanoes in the world. It can be linked to a currency, as the currency has two sides, each opposite. Volcanic eruption is one of the most horrific disaster, it could occur deaths to hundreds or even thousands, still remind you of terrifying eruption of Krakatoa volcano that occurred in 1883, which caused massive damage and casualties in the thousands. Is not it terrible right.

10. Mauna Loa Volcano, Hawaii

Mauna Loa is the largest volcano in the world (volume and area), with the volume of lava reaches approximately 18,000 cubic miles. Mauna Loa is one of the five mountains that form the Island of Hawaii. Though Mauna Loa is not the highest mountain, but the erupt is the most dangerous, this is because the content of this mountain lava consists lot of fluid that can cause serious fires. The mountain last erupted on April 15, 1984.

9. Taal Volcano, Philippines

Taal Volcano is a volcanic complex on the island of Luzon in the Philippines. This mountain consists of an island in Lake Taal, which is located inside the caldera formed by very strong previous eruptions (the process is similar to lake Toba). Taal Volcano is located about 50 km (31 mile) from the capital, Manila. This volcano has erupted hard several times, carrying one of the most powerful eruption in 1991 that killed more than a thousand souls.

8. Ulawun Volcano, Papua New Guinea

Ulawun is one of the most active volcanoes in Papua New Guinea and one of the most dangerous. The mount is located in Papua New Guinea, the Bismarck arc. The mountain erupted several times has been recorded, one of the strongest eruption was in 1980, where Ulawun out ash up to 60 000 feet tall and produce pyroclastic flows that swept all sides of the mountain.

7. Nyiragongo Volcano, Congo

The nyiragongo is one of the most active volcano in Africa, this mountain is always revealing the activity significantly. Since 1882, he has erupted at least 34 times. One of the worst eruption was on the stairs 17 September 2002, when the lava flowed down the slopes of Nyiragongo to cover approximately 40% of the city of Goma and caused nearly 120 000 people homeless.

6. Merapi Volcano, Indonesia

Mount Merapi is a conical volcano located on the border between Central Java and Yogyakarta, Indonesia. This is the most active volcanoes in Indonesia and has erupted regularly since 1548. This mountain has been active since 10 000 years ago. Most of the Merapi eruption involving the collapse of the lava dome continues to flow beneath ka. And sometimes often accompanied by ome down of the hot smoke (wedhus trash) that the fast can reach 120 km per hour.

5. Galeras Volcano, Colombia

Galeras volcano has been active for at least a million years. Located near the southern Colombian border with Ecuador. This mountain is the most active volcano in Colombia. This mountain has been erupting almost every year since 2000. This is dangerous because the unexpected eruption frequency. This could lead to eruption of hot lava to 3.5 km come down to the slopes of Mount Galeras. The last eruption was on January 3, 2010, and forced the government to evacuate 8,000 people.

4. Sakurajima Volcano, Japan

Sakurajima is one of the most active volcanoes in Japan, the mountain is located on Kyushu Island Japan. The intensity of the eruptions is one of the highest in Japan and even the world. even the 7300 eruption was recorded in the last 45 years. One of a terrible eruption occurred on March 10, 2009 where the mountain is throwing rocks and other mountain composition until two miles away.

3. Popocatepetl Volcano, Mexico

Popocatepetl is an active volcano located at an altitude of 5426 meters above sea level. existing recorded 20 eruptions since 1519. The explosion was very powerful, because it can release volcanic ash within a radius of a fairly remote. Even since December 1994 occurred on this mountain dangerous activity continuously, until finally a great eruption occurred in 2000 which is the largest eruption of Mount Popocatepetl in history has ever perpetuated.

2. Vesuvius Volcano, Italy

Mount Vesuvius is a strato volcano in the Gulf of Naples, Italy, about nine miles east of Naples. Mount Vesuvius is the only volcano in mainland Europe has erupted in the last hundred years. Famous for the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 years that caused the destruction of Roman cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum. This mountain could erupt at any time, and severity there are about 3 million people who live around Vesuvius volcano. The eruption of lava bursts this can lead to very high, even on March 22, 1994, high bursts of lava reaching 1000 meters.

1. Yellowstone Super-volcano, United States

Yellowstone Super-volcano is the most dangerous mount in the world. Yellowstone Super-volcano explosion rocks and composition can shoot up to 1000 kilometers from the mount other cubic. volcanic eruptions of lava and ash this mount enough to threaten the extinction of species and can even become one of the causes of a mass disaster, because once the mountain is erupting, it will cause all the other volcanic activity experienced a major tectonic vibrations and could trigger other explosions.

Most Dangerous Roads around the World

At one time or another, most drivers encounter unsafe road conditions. Hazards can appear in many different forms, for instance, poor weather, drunk drivers, and simple human error can all complicate an otherwise uneventful journey. On the other hand, sometimes the condition of the road itself can put your life in jeopardy.

It is hard to imagine how many dangerous roads there are. When working on this post I studied about few resources to find out that there are over 100 dangerous and scary roads and these are just the most famous we've heard of. There are different factors of danger so it is really hard to say what roads are the most dangerous of all the dangerous roads in the world. But here is our list of most blood-bathing roads and the deadly routes where tonnes of accidents have happened. Do check them out and, more importantly, try to avoid them!

Stelvio Pass Road, Italy

The eastern Alps countryside of Italy are incredibly breathtaking. This zig-zag stretch of road at 1.7 miles above sea level has approximately 48 hairpin bends. It's beautiful to look at from a distance, but wouldn't be easier to fly over the Alps to get to the other side?

Trollstigen, Norway

Trollstigen translated means "Troll's Ladder." Dizzy hairpins, almost impossible to pass another car on this narrow road and then put the danger of falling rocks with steep inclines that leave you with a case of vertigo・why oh why drive here? Tourist are attracted by the beautiful 1000ft waterfall off the side of the mountain. You want to see a waterfall, fly to Hawaii. It's safer and you can get a tan.

Col de Turini, France

Who doesn't want to go to the south of France? About 20 miles on this pass is part of the Monte Carlo Rally with 34 death defying hairpins and long stretches where cars top our at over 100 miles per hour. It's considered one of the greatest driving roads of the world, but not for normal people who embrace safety first.

North Yungas Road, Bolivia

This road is also known as the "Road of Death." It's a single-lane road, so why do these trucks try to pass each other are they nuts? It's a long drop down without guardrails. There's also fog and rain to contend with including mudslides caused by moisture.

Taroko Gorge Road, Taiwan (Chungheng)

A tunnel with no lights off a cliff equals a disaster waiting to happen. Tourist love it because it passes right through a national park. At least there's a cement guard rail system.

Los Caracoles Pass, Andes

A very popular path through the Andreas Mountains between Chile and Argentina. A maze of steep inclines and hairpins without guard rails and the road is covered with snow for the most part of the year. Buy an airline ticket and fly back and forth between the two countries.

Lena Highway, Russia

Known as the "Highway from Hell." This road runs parallel to the river Lena. During the winter it's a breeze to drive through but during the summer month with a deluge of rain, it's a mud pit.

Guoliang Tunnel Road, China

Yes, that's a tunnel road inside a mountain 200 meter long about 5 meters high and 4 meters wide. A beautiful scenic route that's dubbed, "the road that does not tolerate any mistakes." Seriously!

Atlas Mountains Road, Morocco

The Dades Gorge in Morocco is beautiful to look at, but not while you're driving this twisty-turvy road. You could end up being part of the Gorge.

The Way to Fairy Meadows, Pakistan

You know when they tell you not to look down when you're scared of heights, don't look down! No shoulder, no guard rail, no hope.

Grimsel Pass, Switzerland

Over one mile above sea level this sloping path takes you through the Swiss mountains between the valley of the Rhone River and the Haslital valley. Guard rails and night lights but you're on a slope, don't think it's in any way safe.
