5 Strangest Things Found In The Lake! Description: There are some pretty strange things hiding closer to home than you may expect. When you think of sunken treasure and miraculous discoveries you probably imagine scenes of piracy on the high seas or the lost city of Atlantis. It may surprise you to know that lakes have more than their fair share of interesting discoveries. We whittled the list down and aresure you’ll enjoy the top 5 strangest things found in lakes. Let’s begin! 5. Bull Sharks When most people think of sharks, they picture them living in the ocean. Some sharks, however, have adapted to freshwater. To make matters worse, there are plenty of bull shark attacks that occur in lakes every year. They have even been seen swimming upstream through rapids while jumping like salmon to get further inland. That’ll certainly make you think twice before you take your next summertime plunge.These sharks prefer warmer, coastal waters, but sometimes leave their usual habitats and make their way toward ours. Furthermore, the story of a 7 year old being attacked in Lake Pontchartrain, Louisiana by a 5 foot bull shark is pretty astounding. 4. Largest island in a lake on an island in a lake on an island, Victoria Island For a long time, trivia buffs everywhere were convinced that Volcano Island in Lake Taal, Phillipines held the honour of being the largest island in a lake on an island in a lake on an island. That title has now been passed to a previously undiscovered island with no given name in Lake Huron, thanks to a discovery made via Google Earth.There’s also a good chance that no person has ever set foot on the island, due to its remote location. While Lake Taal is definitely more picturesque, as well as being a touch easier to reach, this one managed to snatch the up the record. The remote island, locatedwithin Victoria Island was discovered in 2012 by Ken Jennings, also a noted Jeopardy champion. 3. Shi Cheng, Qiandao Lake, China In 1959 when the Chinese government began building a new hydroelectric dam in the Zhejiang province they encountered a pretty big obstacle: The ‘Lion City’ of Shi Cheng. Once an important commercial and political hub, this magnificent city, recently rediscovered after being forgotten for over 50 years, now lies under 130 feet of water. Amazingly, the city is incredibly preserved, even after being submerged for so long. From the surface, this serene-looking lake that covers 573 square kilometres gives absolutely no indications of the secrets lying below. Diving expeditions are expected to bring tourists to this modern day Atlantis, allowing them to explore this unique underwater city. 2. Strange Designs, Utah Two guys made a pretty strange discovery recently. A video has surfaced that shows a strange ring of holes in the ice, forming a pattern that looks a lot like a sunflower’s seeds. Inside each of these holes are what look like alien growths that have melted the ice around them. It’s a very weird sight, with the find baffling everybody so far. A few theories have been produced that can possibly explain the phenomenon, but none so far have gained any real traction. One is that the circular pattern is the result of illegal dumping of an as-of-yet unknown substance. Others have been quick to point out a takeout coffee cup on the ice nearby, which could have been used to make the pattern. The third and most interesting theory is that the pattern was caused by a mystery organism’s biological antifreeze protein. 1. Mystery Object in Ligeia mare, Titan Our last lake is really out of this world. Located on Titan, one of Saturn’s moons and the site of an expedition headed by NASA to learn more about its environment and conditions. After discovering that Titan may potentially contain liquid water, much attention has been directed toward the distant moon. Titan is a frigid world, with lots of large methane and ethane lakes covering its surface. One of those, Ligeia mare, is garnering a little more time in the spotlight these days after a mystery object appeared on images collected and analysed by NASA with the help of its Cassini probe. Scientists aren’t yet sure exactly what the object is, but have theorized that it may be an iceberg that broke apart or a mass of bubbles at the surface.
