This lake sings. The terrifying sounds give you goosebumps

Few people know about the existence of singing lakes. Thanks to the movement and cracking of thin layers of ice, the reservoirs can produce loud sounds.
Did you know that lakes can sing? It turns out that not only can they, but they do it really loudly. One of them was caught performing just a few days ago. Located in central Chile, the Laguna del Maule reservoir released cosmic sounds that could send shivers down the spines of even the most paranormal enthusiast. It turns out that explaining the causes of this unusual phenomenon is not all that complicated.
Singing Lake in Chile
A song from another world echoes over the Laguna del Maule lake in Chile, located 2,165 meters above sea level. Loud, clear and slightly terrifying sounds are hard to compare to anything else. The phenomenon is recorded on camera, thanks to which residents of other parts of the world can also take part in this impressive concert. How does this lake located in the Andes have these magical properties? The explanation may disappoint you. It is not supernatural powers, but shifting layers of ice that are responsible for the cacophonous sounds.
The residents were surprised
Chile doesn’t have many lakes that freeze over permanently. It’s no wonder that locals who have had the opportunity to observe the unusual phenomenon were surprised by its existence. However, glaciologists have known about it for a long time. “The sounds are caused by the movement or cracking of thin layers of ice in the lake. Laguna del Maule is not the only lake that makes sounds. Such singing lakes also occur in Europe and some countries in North America,” explains Andres Rivera from the University of Chile.
Few people know that sands can also sing. Thanks to the high temperature and low humidity, some desert dunes are able to produce sounds produced by drying and shifting sand. The most famous example of this phenomenon is the “singing sand mountain” in Dunhuang in western China.
