Karymsky Lake

Karymsky Lake is a crater lake located in the Karymsky volcano on the Kamchatka Peninsula, Russia. With a radius of five kilometres (3.1 mi) it was once one of the world's largest fresh water lakes , but as a result of a recent eruption toxic gases turned this into one of the largest acid water lakes.
