Chile vanishing Patagonian lake

Wednesday, 23 May 2012 11:23

SANTIAGO: In less than 24 hours Lake Cachet II in Chile's southern Patagonia vanished, leaving behind just some large puddles and chunks of ice in the vast lake bed.

The glacier normally acts as a dam containing the water, but rising temperatures have weakened its wall. Twice this year, ...
