Mysterious Lake appears in the middle of the desert in Tunisia

The inhabitants of the region of Gafsa in the South of Tunisia, were caught recently with the appearance of a mysterious lake in the middle of the desert.

It is estimated that the Lake, which has already been dubbed "Praia de Gafsa", has about 10.5 hectares and 15.24 metres in the deepest places and the only apparent explanation for the appearance of the reservoir is the water coming from inside the Earth.

Several teams of experts are now investigating the origin of the Lake, but has not yet reached any conclusions. The most accepted theory among investigators is that an earthquake has fractured a layer of rock that blew an underground reservoir. The water has begun to slip through cracks of fractured rock and forming a small lake on the surface.

The Lake was discovered earlier this month and the public security authorities of Gafsa warned citizens not to join in the waters, since even if unaware of its origin, refers to the Huffington Post. Some people speculate that the water can be dangerous to humans or carcinogen, since in the vicinity there is a phosphate ore. However, all these factors have not prevented the Tunisians to enjoy your new beach.
