In 1986, Lake Nyos, a crater lake in Cameroon, experienced a sudden and deadly limnic eruption.
This event caused over 100,000 tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) to be released from the lake into the surrounding area.
The heavy gas displaced the oxygen in the air, suffocating around 1,700 people and 3,500 livestock within a 16-mile radius.
This is one of the most well-known natural disasters involving a lake releasing gases from its depths.

Things like this would've become the basis for Myths or Religions in the past.

If you dumped cola syrup into the lake would it be natural coke?

Westerners have installed a pipe into the lake to bleed off the CO2 so this can't happen again. Teams regularly visit the lake to monitor the CO2 level and ensure the pipe is in "good repair".

I would convince the tribe to use paper straws and electric cars to decrease the CO2 emissions.

Some people claim something like this is what happened to kill all the first born in egypt since first born slept on the ground and gasses would have suffocated the people closest to the ground.

Shouldn't have built a village near a gas throwing lake

All lakes do that when their thermocline is disrupted.

We like seeing fountains when we travel. The locals might not fully appreciate its functional value or beauty but that's no reason not to do it.

We can kill all the natives and take their land. Any problem?

Pretty sure there's not a Starbucks anywhere near that village. Who would want to live in such a hellhole?
