Scientists have discovered an enormous ancient lake underneath a modern lake and are probing its depths for clues about its history.

The lake, estimated to be 8,000 years old, was found under Lake Monmouth in western Ontario, Canada. The lake is located about ten feet below the surface of Lake Monmouth. The lake is remarkably well preserved and still entirely full of water.
