Dive into the most mysterious waters around the world (if you dare) in this illustrated nonfiction book, from TikTok star and educator Geo Rutherford! Some of Earth's strangest--and creepiest--wonders lie deep below the surface. There's Lake Natron, a Tanzanian lake so briny that its waters can mummify any creature that touches its surface; Lake Maracaibo, a Venezuelan tidal bay where a constantly brewing storm sends an average of 28 lightning bolts per second into the water; and at the bottom of Lake Superior, the crew of the USS Kamloops--which mysteriously disappeared in 1921--remains somehow almost perfectly preserved to this day. From TikTok sensation and educator Geo Rutherford--the creator of the hit series Spooky Lake Month (over 65 million views!)--comes a thrilling nonfiction book that plumbs the depths of unusual lakes around the world.
