This lake took 1,700 lives in one night and most of the world never heard about it.
On the evening of August 21st, 1986, in Cameroon, villagers near Lake Nyos heard a low rumble. Then they saw white mist rising from the water. Then they smelled something like rotten eggs.
Then nothing. Because they were already losing consciousness.
In the space of a few minutes, the lake released between 100,000 and 300,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide from its depths. The gas cloud rose at nearly 100 kilometres per hour, spilled over the lake’s edge, and rolled silently down into the valleys below, exactly where the villages were.
Carbon dioxide is heavier than air. So it did not rise. It sank. It hugged the ground. It crept into every home, every hut, every room. And because it is colourless and almost odourless, nobody knew it was there until they were already unconscious.
1,746 people lost their lives in their sleep. 3,500 livestock were found lifeless across the valleys. The bodies showed no signs of struggle or trauma. They simply stopped breathing where they lay.
The few survivors were those who lived on higher ground. They woke up hours later to find everyone around them gone. Some of them wished they had not woken up at all.
The most disturbing part is that Lake Nyos is still there. It is still a volcanic crater lake. It still sits on a pocket of magma that slowly pumps carbon dioxide into the water. Engineers installed pipes in 2001 to slowly release the gas in a controlled way, but the lake is still considered hazardous to this day.
And Lake Nyos is not alone. Lake Kivu, 2,000 times larger, sits nearby, and it is saturated with both carbon dioxide and methane.
Did you know this disaster even happened? Most people have never heard of it.
