A lake in southern Chile has mysteriously disappeared, prompting speculation the ground has simply opened up and swallowed it whole.

The lake was situated in the Magallanes region in Patagonia and was fed by water, mostly from melting glaciers.

It had a surface area of between 4 and 5 hectares (10-12 acres)

"The only things left were chunks of ice on the dry lake-bed and an enormous fissure," he said.

Seems reasonable to assume the water got drained through the fissure. :24:
