Moving from Lake Monoun to Lake Nyos
|
Lake Monoun and Lake Nyos are known as the killer lakes of Cameroon, Africa. In 1984 Lake Monoun exploded, emitting a deadly gas. Following almost exactly two years later in the wake of this natural disaster a similar explosion happened at Lake Nyos; although this time the death toll was much higher (over 1700 people and livestock). Combined, the gas emissions from these lakes killed over 1800 people and livestock in neighboring villages.
