It looks like a giant cup of red wine or even blood.

Late last month villagers on Ambae, one of the chain of islands making up the Pacific nation of Vanuatu, made a startling discovery. The previously blue-green water in a three kilometre wide lake, perched at the top of a 1500 metre high active volcano, had suddenly turned bright red.

"It's quite red, like red wine," said Esline Garaebiti, the geo-hazards manager for Vanuatu's Department of Geology, Mines and Water Resources. But exactly why remains a mystery, she said, adding that water samples were being sent to Belgium and New Caledonia for analysis.

A user posted this on my forum. I just thought it was interesting so I'd share it with you guys. There's a picture in the news story.

That's pretty interesting. I wonder if it's related to this, http://www.cnn.com/2006/TECH/science/06/02/red.rain/index.html .

It probably has something to do with the volcano. But here's the real question:

Did the change happen on 6/6/6? With all the hype of the apocolypse, maybe it's happening - just really, really slowly.
