Scientists are still wondering if the vortex created turned clockwise or counter clockwise.

Sink hole opened up because of seismic activity is my guess.

Very, very, very localized global warming?

Aliens sucked up the water to power their Hydrogen fuel cells..

I wonder if there is any connection to Redskinmama's toilet problem.

As much as I hate to say it.... Aliens are just as feasible as a leaky basin.

Scientists solve puzzle of Chile's missing lake
New 10:15AM Wednesday July 04, 2007

SANTIAGO - Scientists said that a lake in southern Chile that mysteriously disappeared last month developed a crack which allowed the water to drain away.

A buildup of water opened a crack in an ice wall along one side of the lake. Water flowed through the crack into a nearby fjord and from there into the sea, leaving behind a dry lake-bed littered with icebergs, scientists told Chilean state television on Tuesday.

"It looks like it's slowly filling up with water again," said Andres Rivera, a glacier expert who headed a team which recently flew over the lake in a bid to solve the mystery.

The lake is situated in the Magallanes region in Patagonia and is fed by melt-water from glaciers. Earlier this year it had a surface area of 4 to 5ha -- about the size of 10 soccer fields.

Scientists noticed it had disappeared during a routine patrol of the area in May.

Rivera said the incident was evidence of the effects of global warming.

Of course it is...

not the first time a lake has been drained.
