I'm going with sublimation on this one. At a specific range, frozen precipitation converts to gaseous form. Leaving little trace. It's like watching snow disappear without getting the ground wet. It's not common, but does happen.
A whole entire lake converted to a gaseous form in 2 months? And I thought sublimation was a solid to a gas, not a liquid to a gas??
I think it was one of the companies selling bottled water, we should keep an eye on remote lakes, and test bottled water. Other than that it could have been aliens.Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
Why the f*** aliens would need water :bugeye:.Propably eartquake or somekind gap appeared and water went there,its not a very large lake so why to give a fck about it Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
Giant fissure + frequent tremors + recent tremors = probable cause to believe an earthquake caused the fissure and the water went down the hole. That's my theory at least.
Hmmm I found this interesting until I read the size of the 'lake'. We have seasonal ponds on our property bigger than this 'lake'. I also know a half dozen small lakes in our nearby Canadian rockes that 'come and go'. There is even a lake near Jasper that is miles long that seems to empty by magic. Interezting but one of these stories that has a life of it's own and is a step removed from 'much ado about nothing'. As a geologist I could come up with a half dozen reasons for the 'disappearance' of the water but none would add anything to the discussion without first hand knowledge of the geology at the site, etc.
The mystery is there were no earthquakes there recently. Since it was a glacial lake, my theory is that the glacier was blocking a fissure, which caused the lake to form from meltwater. The glacier retreated, possibly due to global warming, the fissure became unplugged, and the lake drained.
