Albanian thermal underground lake detected as largest in the world

A team of Czech scientists have discovered in Albania the world's largest underground thermal lake.

They called Lake Neuron from the foundation that financed the expedition and found out. The lake is located in the Sarandapor spa area in Leskovik, Korca.

Within the valleys of mountainous border zones between Greece and Albania, Czech scientists have been exploring the complex situation underground for several years. In the Vromoner region, on the Albanian side of the border, they discovered in a wide cave system in 2021, which they have since explored in detail, points out Foreign media.

The system contained many heat sources that produced high steam columns. The trace of the steam source led them to find an abyss over a hundred feet deep, which they called Atmos.

At the end of that abyss, the lake was discovered, which the discovery team confirmed as the world's largest underground lake to date. At a length of 138 feet [138 m], a length of 42m and a 345m perimeter can hold 8,335 m] of hot water. In a comparison to those who have visited Czechia, the size of the lake's space is three times the main hall of the National Theatre in Prague.
