9 Guinness World Records for the Blue Planet Lover
Here’s a list compiled from Guinness World Records for the mermaids and mermans travelers. 1. World’s Deadliest Lake – Lake Nyos in Cameroon, West Africa. The lake responsible for the most deaths in the world because of its toxic gases have claimed nearly 2,000 lives in recent decades. On just one night of August 1986, between 1,600 and 1,800 people and countless animals were killed by a large natural release of carbon-dioxide gas. 2. World’s Oldest Lake – Lake Baikal in Siberia, Russia. The lake is between 20 and 25 million years old. It was formed by a tectonic rift in the Earth’s crust, which still causes Baikal to widen by about 2cm (0.78 in) per year. It hold more water than North America’s Great Lakes combined and has a wealth of biodiversity, including the world’s only freshwater seal.
