The city of Goma is right on the edge of the lake.

And so if Lake Kivu were to ever have a limnic eruption, it could kill millions of people.

Oh my God.

Because of that carbon dioxide.

To me, that's kind of like the ultimate spooky lake is like a lake that could actually do the killing.

Like this lake is deadly in and of itself.

It's not just because of human stupidity.

It actively just let off this gas explosion.

In any time.

Yeah, it could happen at any time.

Now, I think that they've put in safety measures to both Lake Nyos and to Lake Kivu to try to release that gas.

So like a pipe to the bottom that like tries to offset that buildup.

Because some people say that it was a landslide that like caused the carbon dioxide gas to be disrupted.

But it seems like it could also just be like at a point it just pops where it's just too much.

Ooh, I mean, unfortunately, the answer to that is that I want to go to Lake Baikal.

There's no other...

Oh, you got to meet a seal.

You have to meet a seal.

Yeah, I got to go.

I got to go to Lake Baikal.
