The Linden Blue Lake is Beautiful, but Danger Lurks Beneath its Placid Surface

The Kara Kara Blue Lake in Linden is doubtless beautiful, but is it a “Death Trap” as some have called it? Rising up from the depths of poorly covered mining pits, the lake features an uneven and unstable foundation plagued with quicksand and sinkholes that precipitate strong underwater currents. The possibility of landslips occurring underfoot and swallowing a person up is relatively high. Several persons have already drowned in the lake, and many have reported a near death experience.
