Many years ago, the Czech team Speleologists Discover the large underground system of hot springs in Albania. They only know that they will lead them to the largest heating lake under the earth.
“(Following), the high column of steam that comes out of limestone, limestone, we can find a pond that is more than a hundred meters (328 feet)” Marek Audy. Said in the foundation of nerve cells statement– “We call it ATMOS at the bottom. We discovered the strong heat flow and the lake that was attached to Lake Neuron, which was named the Czech Science Foundation that provided the organization to the surface 471 feet (127 m)
However, during this first trip, the team does not have the right tools for the accurate measurement of the lake. They know it is big. But they cannot only prove how So big, so they returned a few years later with more funding and advanced science tools.
“During our first survey, we created a fundamental map using our equipment and immediately realized that we discovered something extraordinary.” Richard Bouda, a photographer and Spelleologist. In traveling to tell Euronews– “Thanks to the Neuron Foundation (later), can use a mobile phone scanner, which allows us to measure all the cave and lake area precisely. We also work with a hydrology to analyze the underwater sections of the lake by using the technology. “
The team named Lake “Nerve cells” in honor of the supporters and conducting geology in the second trip to confirm the dimension of the lake. It is 453 feet (138 meters) length 138 feet (42 meters) and has all the circumference. 1,131 feet (345 meters), three times the size of the main hall in the National Theater of Prague and 294,348 cubic feet (8,335 cubic meters) of the heat mineral water in separate nerve cells. statement Announcement of measures that break the record For the more familiar comparison of this world, the amount of Olympic swimming pool is more than three times.
“Thanks to the scientists who we work with. We know that the surrounding fountain is fed by water from the lake,” Bouda said. Radio between the country– “We believe that this discovery can also help protect the entire area and for better understanding of its hydrology, because to this day, no one knows how these underground waters are connected to those who are remote areas.”
Lake Neuron is in a region called Vromoner along the Greek Border Albania. Due to the tension between the two countries in the past century, this region has not received many scientific attention, making the team's journey more happier according to the first statement. In fact, the discovery of lake neurons is “What may have a great impact on understanding the underground ecosystem and geological processes,” said Audy. National Geographic– “We want to see other parts of the cave. Learn more about geological and biology of this area.”
While the world started the second space competition But it is worth remembering that there are still many that we don't know about the land under our feet.
