Rare geological event drains Five Blues LakeIt may not be one of Belize's best known protected areas but for conservationists in the know, Five Blues Lake National Park has always been considered a rare gem. Unfortunately, over the last week Five Blues has achieved a different kind of notoriety. News Five's Janelle Chanona reports. Wilber Sabido “We know as a matter of fact that this entire area has extensive cave systems and you can see it evident above the level of the water, and it is probable that the lake itself was probably part of a larger system. And it could be that the floor of the lagoon for various reasons, it could be carbonification maybe the weight of the water probably with recent rains which added to the acidity of the water might have caused the flow of the lake to basically collapse.”View Entire Newscast new.channel5belize.com/archive_detail_story.php?story_id=16717
