8. The Mysterious Tunguska Explosion – Lake Cheko Is Much Older Than Previously Thought

The Tunguska explosion is a remarkable event that took place on June 30, 1908.

A huge blast occurred in the area of the Podkamennaya Tunguska River, located in Central Siberia and approximately 620 miles north of the town of Irkutsk and Lake Baikal.

The blast was extremely powerful. It had the explosive force of a 15-megaton nuclear weapon, shattering windows hundreds of miles away and lighting up the skies of the Northern hemisphere for days afterwards.

With 1,000 times more power than the Hiroshima bomb, the exploding object flattened trees over an area roughly the size of Tokyo. What caused the Tunguska explosion has been debated for years. Several scientists from Russia and abroad have proposed many plausible explanations for the phenomenon, yet none of them have proven to be 100% true. A group of scientists from the University of Bologna in Italy have proposed a theory suggesting the beautiful blue Lake Cheko formed as a result of the Tunguska explosion.
