This
stunning lake at Harpur Hill in the East Midlands of England is just
begging you to dive in, no? Problem is, the quarry pool, known as the
Blue Lagoon, has a pH level comparable to bleach and is teeming with
garbage and dead animals. The bright blue hue (and the high pH) comes
from the quarry stone. Signs warning visitors not to take a dip didn't
work, so now the High Peak Borough Council recently dyed the water
black. "It's not pretty any more," local business owner Rachel Thomas
told
the BBC. "They don't think they're on holiday in the Bahamas any more, they know they're in Harpur Hill."
