    Lake in Chile Mysteriously Disappears Overnight



    How does an entire lake disappear overnight? This disturbing event is occurring around the world with greater frequency. The latest happened in the Patagonia region near the southern end of Chile. Lake Riesco, a 1400 hectare (14 square km/5.4 square mile) body of water popular with fishing enthusiasts and vacationers, is gone and no one can explain why.

    Before and after photos of what once was Lake Riesco



    Local media showed before-and-after photographs of the area on May 30th, 2016, using words like “shocking” and “desiccated” to describe the scene at what was once Lake Riesco (Lago Riesco) in the valley of the river Blanco in the Aysén province, 27 km (16 miles) from the provincial capital city of Puerto Aysen. Before its demise, Lago Riesco had a maximum depth of 130 meters (425 feet) and an average depth of 72 meters (236 feet). After its demise, it’s dry. Why?
    Reports on May 30th say “still no official information on the case.” Volcanoes in the area were “stable” with no unusual activities. Unofficially, speculation points to a few possible causes. One side of Lake Riesco lies on the Liquiñe-Ofqui geological fault – a major fault line which runs for 1200 km through southern Chile. The fault regularly triggers earthquakes, but no significant seismic activity was reported prior to the disappearance of Lake Riesco. There are reportedly no visible holes or crevices where the water could have gone.



    Another less plausible explanation is the drought caused by El Nino which has affected the area. Average rainfall in the lake region this year is only 34% of normal annual precipitation. While this may explain the lake being at lower levels and exposing new stretches of beaches, a gradual decline due to climate doesn’t suddenly become an overnight disappearance. Despite that, this is the preliminary explanation given by Marcio Villouta Alvarado, the Ministerial Regional Secretary of Public Works.A large lake vanishes overnight without seismic warnings, loud noises, sudden and drastic changes in weather or other logical explanations for this strange event deep in the beautiful forests of Patagonia. What else could have caused it?
    Local residents, boaters, swimmers and birds wait for an explanation. It’s too late for the fish.


    Will Lake Riesco ever look like this again?

    I wonder if it is related to this Chilean lake's disappearances?

    In Germany the Königsee is 98 Meter max. 190 Meter depth.
    The news would running wild if this see is gone overnight.

    There is also a famous echo there:

    the photos show significant water loss but not a 400 foot deep hole, what is shown in all the photos are sections of the lake which have lost meters of water as the lake level goes down, but dos not show the entire lake, particularly the deep parts....if it is gone and was 400 feet deep then where is the 400 foot deep hole?

    water, i have noticed, tends to settle in the lowest places, and the earth has been expanding and heaving around for epochs, thus has lots of cracks and fissures in her wrinkly hide... over the top of these are the lakes, rivers and bodies of water.. so these, may from time to time, move underneath at some depth which opens up some new artery for the water to travel through which would cause such a phenomenon.... similar to the cenotes and sinkholes which open up suddenly with no real warning...... knowing that the black sea area was also once mostly steppes and plains and has stone habitations under the water level as well as every other continent also having similar features brings such comfort and feelings of stability for the firmament we live on

    Sorry for the tone quality.
    I saw some water in the background.
    This little lake is very flat at the seestrand.
    Very flat, very flat, kneedeep.
    No giants steps into kneedeep.
    I see more water in the deeper regions in the background.

    love this ufo suckers:
