Is this the Lagarfljóts worm

February 15, 2012 by Andrew Leave a Comment

Known sometimes only as the Iceland Worm Monster, the Lagarfljóts worm is one of those creatures like the Yeti or Bigfoot that science dismisses and yet people keep on seeing. Unlike Yeti or Bigfoot there have been fewer faked sightings of the worm.

The myth daets back, at least, to the 14th century in Iceland – to Lagarfljót in Egilsstaðir – when the locals believed worm sign would herald natural disasters.

There are some explanations as to why the myth persists. Some suggest that rising gas from the lakebed could create openings in the ice and bubble deris to the surface.

Check out the video below and let us know whether you think this strange slithering shape in the icy lake is natural or not.
