9 Dangerous Places You Should Never Swim
Показать описание
9 Dangerous places you should never swim. From powerful and fast-moving channels of water that are difficult to swim against to animals lurking below. Please think twice before jumping into these seas & oceans.
# 9: Shanay Timpishka
Located in Peru, Shanay Timpishka is nicknamed “the Boiling River” and known as the only boiling river in the world. This tributary of the Amazon River is 4 miles long, 82 miles wide, and 20 feet deep. But the most impressive (and scary) thing about it is it reaches up to 212 degrees Fahrenheit. You could use the boiling water to cook a full-on meal at that temperature! Nothing can live in the river, since it will boil them alive.
# 8: Lake Kawah Ijen
On the island of Java in Indonesia, at an elevation of 9,085 feet, is a highly acidic crater. Located right next to an active volcano, the lake’s temperature is about 90 degrees Fahrenheit and full of sulfuric acid. It’s about 2,300 feet wide and reaches a depth of 660 feet. Swimming in this lake would be a horrible mistake, because the acid would end up burning you.
# 7: Jacob’s Well
Found in Texas, Jacob’s Well is a beautiful spring with crystal-clear water. It’s a popular spot to visit and enjoy the afternoon, and if you stay near the surface, is pretty safe, too. But beware if you decide to go deeper beneath the surface. After a vertical, 30-foot-deep dive, there are caves with several chambers that can reach an average of 120 feet deep. The caves can be difficult to navigate and there are parts with narrow passageways. It’s easy to get lost and disoriented down there.
# 6: The Amazon Basin
The Amazon Basin is massive, spanning about 2,400,000 square miles in the countries of Bolivia, Peru, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Venezuela, Guyana, Suriname, and French Guiana (which is France’s territory). That’s a little over 35% of South America. Regardless of which country you’re in, swimming in the Amazon Basin is probably a bad idea. There are dangerous animals like piranhas, black caimans, the candiru fish, and more. The inch-long, eel-like candiru is a parasitic fish that has been known to swim up the urethra or other body openings.
# 5: Lake Victoria
At over 26,000 square miles, Lake Victoria spans across Tanzania, Uganda, and Kenya. It is the largest tropical freshwater lake in the world, and the third largest lake in general in the world. Parts of this lake have its own weather system. The unpredictability of the weather means that it can go from calm and sunny to rainy and windy in the blink of an eye. The dangerous thing about this is there is no way to track the weather and predict what will happen, so if you’re caught at the wrong place at the wrong time, it could be deadly.
# 4: Horseshoe Lake
Found in California, Horseshoe Lake has a high concentration of carbon dioxide. A reservoir of gas had been beneath Mammoth Mountain, and after several earthquakes that occurred between 1989 and 1990, pathways opened up for that gas to escape. This causes high levels of carbon dioxide that kills nearby trees and can be potentially dangerous to humans.
# 3: Lake Natron
This alkaline lake is right below an active volcano in Tanzania. It is 35 miles long, 14 miles wide, and less than 10 feet deep. The temperature reaches around 105 degrees Fahrenheit. The bright red color of this lake comes from microorganisms that feed off the high levels of salt found within it. But the craziest phenomenon is the fact that animals turn into stone when they unfortunately get in the water—well, technically, they calcify.
# 2: The Beaches of North Queensland
While there are a number of fantastic beaches you can swim at in Queensland, Australia, you won’t be finding anyone swimming at the beaches found in the Northern part of Queensland—and it isn’t because of the sharks. Irukandji Jellyfish (a species of box jellyfish) and other box jellyfish are found in these waters, and they are some of the most venomous animals on the planet. Irukandji Jellyfish are tiny, with a size between 0.5 to 1 inch. They are incredibly difficult to notice, which is a problem, because it’s impossible to see their four deadly, stinger-filled tentacles that can reach up to 3.3 feet in length.
# 1: The Blue Lagoon
Also known as the Harpur Hill Quarry, the Blue Lagoon is located in Buxton, United Kingdom. Despite having a beautiful, turquoise blue color, it is in fact a toxic dump. Warning signs outside the lake advises that the water is polluted, and is known to contain dead animals, trash, feces, and car wrecks. Who knows what other gross things can be found in there?
# 9: Shanay Timpishka
Located in Peru, Shanay Timpishka is nicknamed “the Boiling River” and known as the only boiling river in the world. This tributary of the Amazon River is 4 miles long, 82 miles wide, and 20 feet deep. But the most impressive (and scary) thing about it is it reaches up to 212 degrees Fahrenheit.
