Water monster? Watch this video and you’ll be in no doubt

by 1 Comment

You might well think there’s some monster in the water. If I had said this was filmed at Loch Ness then the first 10 seconds or so would surely show the Loch Ness monster.

But no, the creature here is a water monster we all know about but sometimes forget how dangerous it can be. In this case, I’m glad the camera man is in a fast boat she they’ve clearly angered something much more powerful than they are.

Are you surprised by the video? Surprised that something so large can travel so fast?

Catching a monster lake trout on clear ice

by Leave a Comment

These ice fishermen enter a state of near hysteria as a monster of a lake trout gets caught at Lake Superior. The fishermen are in a tent and balanced on crystal clear ice. Their fishing line is through a hole they’ve drilled. The result is that you can see the mighty fish as it swims below them and wrestles against the line.

Worried about the fish? They let it go.

Are you a fisher? Would you spend your time out on the ice and get this excited about a catch?

In the UK high street retailer Argos sells fishing rods at low prices. Where else would you recommend as a good place to go to buy equipment for the hobby?

Wonderful Maori carvings at Mine Bay, Lake Taupo, New Zealand

Mine Bay on Lake Taupo

Lake Taupo is the largest lake, by surface area, in New Zealand. It’s a freshwater lake too that sits in a caldera created by a super volcano about 27,000 years ago.

There are still hot springs in the area, especially at the Horomatangi vent and the volcano is considered dormant and not extinct.

These carvings were done by local Maori and look simply wonderful.

Exploding lake

by Leave a Comment

This video shows the effects of a massive underground explosion. In a twist, the underground in question happens to be under a small and otherwise tranquil lake.

The title of the video talks about an explosion in a rock quarry, that’s hard to confirm but it’s certainly possible.

Impressed? What do you think was going on? Looks like a man made explosion but what was the goal?
