Experts just found a lost underground lake — and it's simply massive.

The lake is 454 feet (138 meters) long and 138 feet (42 meters) wide, with a total volume equivalent to 3.5 Olympic swimming pools.

Scientists have just confirmed that this is the world’s largest underground thermal lake, hidden deep inside a cave in southern Albania.

Originally found in 2021, the lake — now named "Neuron" — was recently measured using advanced 3D scanning technology. Heated by geothermal activity, this vast underground water body was found in a remote region near Leskovik, an area long restricted due to political tensions between Albania and Greece.

The discovery marks a significant milestone in underground exploration and could provide valuable insights into geological and biological processes.

The expedition, led by Czech cave explorer Marek Audy and funded by the Neuron Foundation, plans to return to study the lake’s unique ecosystem further. Scientists believe Lake Neuron could deepen our understanding of underground ecosystems and thermal water formations.

On just one day in 2014, three Norwegian “extreme travellers” visited 19 countries - that’s more than most people visit in a lifetime.

The trio started on 22 September in Greece, crossing the border into Bulgaria at midnight and then immediately on to North Macedonia and into Kosovo by 1 am.

By 10 am, they had rushed through four more ex-Yugoslav republics, and by 12:24, they had notched up not just Austria and Hungary, but also Czechia and Slovakia.

Then they caught a flight to western Germany, crossed into each of the three Benelux countries, reaching France by 7 pm, Switzerland around 9.30 pm and Liechtenstein 23 minutes before midnight.

With a bit more luck, the Norwegians would have continued into Italy, racking up 20 countries in 24 hours. Still, 19 countries in under 24 hours is an impressive achievement. Even if there wasn’t much time to soak up the local culture at any of the stops.
