Only three such lakes exist in the world: Kivu, and Lakes Nyos and Monoun in northwest Cameroon.

Engineers aboard a floating power station on Lake Kivu could only watch nervously as a volcano in the distance erupted violently, sending tremors rumbling through the water beneath them. However, it was not the lava shooting from Mount Nyiragongo in May last year that spooked them, but the enormous concentrations of potentially explosive gases within Kivu, one of Africa’s great Rift lakes lying between Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DR Congo). Flanked by rolling green hills t...

When the Nyiragongo volcano spat out a huge lava flow and shook the entire Lake Kivu region last May, KivuWatt engineers had to keep their cool despite "the fear". Their bet was to transform this diffuse threat into an "opportunity", by pumping this gas to transform it into electricity.

You'd probably be surprised to learn that a lake can explode without warning. It's happened, with deadly consequences. HowStuffWorks looks at why.
