Lake Kivu, Rwanda
Lake Kivu on the border between the
Democratic Republic of the Congo with Rwanda, in Central Africa. Lake Kivu
empties into the Ruzizi River, which flows south into Lake Tanganyika. Lake
Kivu is one of three known Lakes "burst" release toxic gases. The Lake
is considered to be deadly because there are an awful lot of harmful gases in
the lower layer of soluble surface – carbon dioxide, and methane (about 55
billion cubic meters) produced by the bacteria in the lake is. If the methane
blast trigger volcanic activity or causing the release of carbon dioxide, it
could lead to terrible disasters, because two million people live in the Valley
of Lake Kivu.
Moboun Lake, Kamerun
Lake monoun is a lake in West Province,
Cameroon, a volcanic Field located in Oku. On August 15, 1984, the Lake
exploded, resulting in the release of large amounts of clouds of carbon dioxide
that killed 37 people. At first, the cause of death is a mystery, and lead to a

Lake Karachay , Rusia
Lake Karachay, sometimes spelled Karachai, is
a small lake located in the Southern Ural mountains, Russia. Since the year
195, the Soviet Union dumped radioactive waste from Mayak to the Lake.
According to a report from the Worldwatch Institute, Karachay is one of the
most polluted places on Earth. The Lake has been polluted by about 4.44
eksabecquerel (EBq) keradioaktifan, which covers 3.6 EBq Cesium-137 and 0.74
EBq Strontium-90. As a comparison, the Chernobyl nuclear disaster issued 5 to
12 EBq keradioaktifan, but this radiation is not concentrated in one place.
Radiation levels in the area surrounding the Lake in 1990 was estimated at
about 600röntgen per hour, which can kill humans within an hour

Dominica's Boiling Lake is situated in the
Morne Trois Pitons National Park-Dominica's world heritage site. The Lake is
flooded fumarole 6.5 miles (10.5 km) East of Roseau, Dominica. The Lake is
filled with bubbling greyish-blue water that is usually shrouded in a cloud of
steam. This Lake is about 200 feet (60 m). The first recorded sighting of the
Lake is in the 1870s by Mr. Watt and Dr. Nicholls, two United Kingdom's work in
the Dominican Republic at the time. In 1875, Mr. h. Prestoe, a Government
botanist, and Dr. Nicholls were commissioned to investigate natural phenomena.
They measured the water temperature and found ranges from 180 to 197 degrees
Fahrenheit (82 to 91.5 degrees Celsius) along the edge, but could not measure
the temperature in the Centre where the Lake is actively boiling. They recorded
a depth greater than 195 ft (59 m). Dominica's boiling Lake is the second
largest hot spring in the world. The largest is Lake Pan, located in Waimangu
Valley near Rotorua, New Zealand.
