Kayaker explores lake beneath other lake in Ireland
- 7 years ago
A cool video has emerged from Ireland of a kayaker exploring a flooded cave called 'Pool of Tranquility' under a lake in Ireland.
The footage, captured on March 8 on Owey Island, western Donegal Islands, shows the man climbing below the surface to canoe across the underground water.
"Directly below this lake lives another lake, this lower lake is 50 metres underground and is accessed by descending a narrow sink hole hidden at the northern end of the upper lake," the filmer wrote online.
"The lake is the flooded floor of this impressive 150 metre long and 40 metres high cavern and it is fed by both the lake above and the trickle from the ocean at the collapsed cave entrance to the sea."
"The Pool of Tranquility as it is a place of complete darkness with no natural light and a surreal haunting silence," he added.
