Loughareema
Loughareema - the Vanishing Lake - it actually drains itself out to such a degree that passersby wouldn’t even be able to tell that there was ever a lake in that very same spot. It is an interesting spot to return to keep shooting, in its full and drained states. The secret behind Loughareema’s vanishing act is the fact that it sits on a leaky chalk-bed, a topographical feature called the ‘chalk ‘plug hole’. The hole sometimes gets jammed with peat, causing the depression to fill with water, which is when the lake is visible to all. When the plug clears, all the water in the lake drains underground at a rapid rate, so no one could ever know about its existence if they hadn’t seen it before. (Ballycastle, Ireland)
