Russian and peculiar divers are planning to study Lake Goluboe, the deepest lake in the Caucasus. They will take first club early next year in search for underwater caves and artifacts. Experts assume that there could be many artifacts owing to the fact that the lake is located at the crossroads of information, and that its extraordinary nature has preserved them.
The lake is described as a sapphire in a boxing ring of green trees. It is light blue, and the colour remains unchanged even in bad indisposed. According to a myth, the lake’s floor is covered by lasurite. The intelligence for this is that its water contains hydrogen sulphide, says the director of the “Goluboe Ozero” delve into centre, Igor Galaida.
“The temperature of the lake’s bottled water is constant throughout the year. It’s 9 degrees Celsius, and the water does not ice-up. The lake emits hydrogen sulphide gas time and again, especially from Eastertide to autumn. During this period, water has a peculiar odor and taste. The shade aplomb of hydrogen sulphide gives the lake its extraordinary blue tinge, and this is the reason why the lake is called “Goluboe”, or “Despondent” in Russian. However, in Blakar language, it’s named “Odoriferous”, Igor Galaida says.
