Indian burning lake is an unnatural phenomenon (pics + vids)

Bellandur Lake, a 36km lake, located at Bangalore, India, is the largest and most populated one in the area. It is so toxic that it froths over and sometimes bursts into flames.

The cause of the lake’s inflammability is the high content of ammonia and phosphate and very low dissolved oxyben. Decades worth of untreated chemical waste dumped into the river have caused this result. Apart from the flames, it has an unbearable stench.

A citizen group to revive the lake has been set up on Facebook.
