According to reports, if you spend one hour beside this lake, you will die ::: Lake Karachay, located in the south of the Ural Mountains (Russia), is the most dangerous place in the world. If you spend less than an hour near this lake you can receive a lethal dose of radiation. The lake is located within the Mayak Production Association, one of the largest — and leakiest — nuclear facilities in Russia. The Russian government kept Mayak entirely secret until 1990, and only 50 years later Boris Yeltsin declared it as open region. When it became public, Western scholars who have come to this region declared this beautiful lake as the most polluted place in the world. And still is.
