520 #4 - SUMMARY, ETC.
Summary, etc. THE MONSTER IN THE LAKE -- "Mixed with globs of water, this lethal fountain [of carbon dioxide] is emerging from a pipe poking out of the waters of Lake Nyos, an apparently idyllic spot in Cameroon's north-west province. The lake, an oval two kilometres long, is quiet and warm, surrounded by granite cliffs, corn fields and steep grassy slopes. But CO2, a by-product of volcanic activity in the rocks beneath, seeps constantly into the depths of Nyos....Then the lake explodes." (NEW SCIENTIST) The author explains why Lake Nyos is considered the deadliest lake in the world and describes how researchers are attempting to prevent another fatal explosion.
520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC.
Summary, etc. LAKE OF DEATH -- "Fourteen years ago a cloud of carbon dioxide gas killed over 1700 people around Lake Nyos in Cameroon. Now as survivors begin to return, a scientific team is struggling to make the lake safe." (BBC FOCUS ON AFRICA) The author reports that the survivors of Cameroon's natural disaster place no faith in scientists' efforts to degas the lake as they believe that the "explosion occurred because the gods were angry with the local inhabitants.
