In fact, it's not a natural lake, it’s a former open pit copper mine. It is situated in Butte, Montana, USA, and it is filled with 30 billion gallons of deadly toxic water (mix of heavy metals and poisonous chemicals). When this enormous mine was closed in 1982, groundwater began to leak into the basin – disastrously passing through the metal deposits in the soil. The water here was responsible for killing 342 snowgeese who landed there and died in 1995.

What a shame? In the name of profits? Are you serious

This is were all the wire came from that runs your little hippie homes...and those annoying little smart electric cars

move to a cave somewhere, stop buying anything, eat only what you can find (no growing anything cause your hurting mother earth) then and only then should you bitch about the environment

At least where I live, mines are ordered to set aside profits for enviromental remediation, for you simpletons...bring it back to the way it was before you started mining...I'm glad i don't live in the USA...
