Vanishing Lake in Northern Ireland
There is a lake in the northern Ireland, which mysteriously disappears and again fills a few hours. There is one underground drainage system that scientists do not yet fully understand.
Loughareemaou Vanishing Lake [Lago Desvanecente]It is a lake in Northern Ireland with rare geology that scientists have not yet been able to understand.
Here, three streams flow into the lake. However, the only output is a bottom drain that is often blocked and unlocked, resulting in dramatic water levels.
Due to this drain and an enigmatic underground drainage system that transports water to a large source on the Carey River, 2.5 kilometers away, the lake Foolish It may be Filled in the morning and empty at lunch time.
Geologists are not sure how the drainage system works or when it was formed. It is only known that it can empty the lake with remarkable efficiency.
“Loughareema is a dynamic landscape and, as you approach the lake, it is exciting to guess what state it will be,” he told, to, to, Paul WilsonHydrogeologist at British Geological Survey in Belfast, Northern Ireland.
As, in this place in Antrim County, the water flows into the lake and, with it, come the debris that sink into the lake bed and eventually cover the drain.
Once the hole is completely blocked, the water level rises rapidly. But When the water reaches a certain level, the pressure it exerts on the drain suddenly unlocks it, so that the water level descends again quickly until the lake is virtually empty.
Legend has it that, at some point in the nineteenth century, people in a carriage pulled by horses traveling along the road tried to cross Loughareema at night and drowned.
The myth says that the carriage and the horses still haunt the margin now, appearing as ghosts on nights when the lake is full.
