More than 1,000 tiny earthquakes have exposed a deeper, slanted reservoir beneath Germany’s Lake Laach volcano, not the vertical body scientists expected.
About Lake Laach:
Lake Laach, also known as Laacher See, is a volcanic caldera lake located in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany.
It is the largest lake in Rhineland-Palatinate.
It is part of the East Eifel volcanic field within the larger volcanic Eifel region.
The lake is oval in shape and surrounded by high banks.
It was formed by a massive volcanic eruption.
Traces of volcanic activity can still be found in the form of volcanic outgassing, the so-called mofettes, on the eastern shore of the lake.
Small bubbles rise up in the water - these so-called mofettes are rising carbon dioxide and illustrate the volcanic history of the lake.
The lake has no natural outlet but is drained by a tunnel dug before 1170 and rebuilt several times since.
