Diving in a volcanic ash filled lake. Really

[g2]

"La erupción del volcán Puyehue en Chile generó una nube de cenizas que se desparraman por varias regiones argentinas. Esta imagen del lago Nahuel Huapi (Bariloche) nos da una idea del panorama que se vive."

It's Lake Nahuel Huapi, near Bariloche, Argentina. The ash/pumice is from the Puyehue volcano volcano in Chile.

It looks very ashy but I suspect it's mostly pumice. You can see open water in the distance, the pumice is being blown ashore.

Even worse than Nova Scotia after a Noreaster.

Thanks, g2, I was wondering if it was related to the eruption of Puyehue. Making an entry through rounded balls of pumice must have been like walking on ball bearings rolling around under your feet.

Now I need to find a "before" picture of Lago Nahuel Huapi.

I know a farmer that dropped a tool box in a sludge pond over at the pig farm. Think those guys will come over an get it for him?

I find the irony in your statement muddiver
