Black Lake In Mexico

In the midst of the volcanoes of Mexico is the "Lake of Ink," which covers about an acre of ground. The body of water, or ink, or whatever it is, is so covered with ashes from the adjacent volcanoes as to appear a part of the surrounding ground, which is all of the same dull gray tint. Where this liquid comes from, what its chemical properties may be, where or what thu supply Is, are matters of conjecture.
