The gaseous chemical composition of exploding lakes is unique to each lake. In Lake Kivu's case, it includes methane (CH 4) and carbon dioxide (CO 2), as a result of lake water interaction with volcanic hot springs. [9] The amount of methane contained at the bottom of the lake is estimated to be 65 cubic kilometres (16 cu mi).
The composition of the water varies. Early explorers believed that the first pond was made up of sulphurous water because of its blue hue. [7] However, after testing, it was discovered that Lago Azufre is actually composed of calcium minerals. [8] The fourth and deepest lagoon is freshwater. It was stocked with fish back in the 1940s.

Balkhash is a semi-saline lake. Chemical composition strongly depends on the hydrographic features of the reservoir. Water in the west half is nearly fresh, with the content of total dissolved solids about 0.74 g/L, and cloudy (visibility: 1 metre); it is used for drinking and industry.
Lake Hévíz is located in Hévíz, Hungary, near the western end of Lake Balaton, 8 kilometres (5 mi) from Keszthely.. It is the largest swimmable thermal lake in the world (47,500 square metres (511,286 sq ft) in area), and is the second largest thermal lake in general, second to only the Frying Pan Lake in New Zealand, which is too hot for swimming.
Laura Netzel. Laura Constance Netzel (née Pistolekors; 1 March 1839 — 10 February 1927) was a Finnish-born Swedish composer, pianist, conductor and concert organizer who sometimes used the pseudonym N. Lago. [1] She was born in Rantasalmi, Finland, and was proud of her Finnish heritage throughout her life, even though she was just one year old when she moved permanently to Stockholm. [2]
Mono Lake (/ ˈ m oʊ n oʊ / MOH-noh) is a saline soda lake in Mono County, California, formed at least 760,000 years ago as a terminal lake in an endorheic basin.The lack of an outlet causes high levels of salts to accumulate in the lake which make its water alkaline.
La donna del lago (English: The Lady of the Lake) is an opera composed by Gioachino Rossini with a libretto by Andrea Leone Tottola (whose verses are described as "limpid" by one critic) [1] based on the French translation [2] of The Lady of the Lake, a narrative poem written in 1810 by Sir Walter Scott, whose work continued to popularize the image of the romantic Scottish Highlands.
Tephra layers in Lago Futalaufquen have been correlated to an eruption in AD 1645–1745. [20] There are sparse reports of eruptions between 1890–1920, [4] with reports from the years 1890–91, 1893–94, 1895–96, 1906, 1917, 1920, and 1922. [21] The activity was visible from Chiloe [8] and Puerto Montt. [22]
