It is south of Albania, in the Vromoner region. They baptized him as Lake Neuron. It appeared at the bottom of an abyss more than 100 meters deep and was possible thanks to the use of advanced technology. The huge underground thermal lake is the largest in the world. It has impressive dimensions. 138 meters long, 42 wide and a volume of 8,335 cubic meters, which is equivalent to about 3.5 Olympic swimming pools.
The research team first detected this lake in 2021. A vapor column that emerged from a limestone formation caught its attention. Now they used a state -of -the -art scanner to map exactly the dimensions of the lake and confirm their magnitude.
Three -dimensional map
Lake Neuron is located in a mountainous area near the city of Leskovik, on the border between Albania and Greece. The cave system where the lake is located is atmos, it is an underground complex
Raneo Present active thermal sources that emit vapor columns. And a chemical process that transforms the limestone into soft plaster due to the oxidation of hydrogen sulfide into sulfuric acid.
The use of avant -garde technology was key to document and analyze the huge underground thermal lake. The team used a mobile lidar scanner. It allowed them to create a detailed three -dimensional map of the Cuevas System. This instrument, together with Geoslam technology, facilitated the precise measurement of the dimensions of the lake and its surroundings.
New record
The Neuron Foundation is dedicated to promoting Czech science. He also found one of the oldest Mayan cities. The discovery of Lake Neuron has significant implications for science. Change the understanding of underground ecosystems and the geological processes that form them. Underground thermal lakes are extremely rare. Your study can provide valuable information on geology, hydrology and biology of the depths of the earth.
Before the discovery of Lake Neuron, there was another record of the world’s largest underground the the world. It was held by a lake located under the Turkish baths of Budapest, in Hungary. It was considered “the cave and thermal room active and full of the world’s largest water.” However, the Albanian lake widely exceeds the dimensions of the Hungarian Lake. Both in size and in depth.
