Horrors of Limnic Eruptions

On August 21, 1986, a catastrophic limnic eruption near Lake Neos claimed the lives of 1,746 people and thousands of animals, leaving no visible signs of destruction. These rare events occur silently, making them particularly terrifying, as they can strike without warning. The earliest recorded limnic eruption dates back to 406 BC, illustrating the long history of this frightening phenomenon.
