Hundreds of Russian Instragrammers have been kicked out of a toxic dumping ground in just a week after they began flocking there because it resembles a tropical paradise. Guards have been posted outside the 'Siberian Seychelles' and an access road dug up to prevent the attention-hungry internet users from reaching the site, but they have simply taken to walking there instead. The deep blue water and white sand at the dumping site has made it a favourite backdrop for Instagram shots, but authorities warn the pool is actually a highly toxic dumping ground for a nearby coal power plant. Authorities now plan to build a fence around the site - officially called Lake Ash Dump - in order to stop people reaching it.

Lots of good looking chicks there..
Free market capitalism.
Yes, almost as if the title on the site is “miss” labeled.
Indeed...
But the very last paragraph...
“after visiting, my face was covered with a rash...”
Yikes... it must be pretty damn toxic without even going in the water.
Last week, our ash dump of the Novosibirsk plant 5 became the star of social networks. We decided to answer the most popular questions.
The ash dump is not poisonous: blue gulls do not fly there, and plants do not die. The radiation is normal there.
But it is impossible to swim in the ash dump. The water has a high alkaline content. This is due to dissolved calcium salts and other metal oxides. Skin contact with such water may cause a reaction.
Bottom ash dump is muddy! Getting out of the reservoir alone is almost impossible. Therefore, we urge you not to get inside to take a slefie, it is dangerous.
The ash dump is needed to store ash. It remains after burning coal at the station. The ash is mixed with water and enters the ash dump through pipes.
This is NOT a natural lake. It was made by people.
Why is the water in the ash dump blue? There are two reasons:
Depth of the ash dump (1-2 meters);
Calcium salts and oxides of various metals that are dissolved in the water that has a high pH (more than 8).
If it were not for the combination of these reasons, there would be no such visual effect. For example, at the ash dump of the Novosibirsk plant 3, which also runs on brown coal, the water has normal color due to is smaller depth.
“Lots of good looking chicks there...”
...that are probably sterile now.
Sit back on the beach and post pics eating Tide Pods while planning a trip to visit Chernobyl.
Sounds like quicksand.
Quicksand selfie opportunities are not as common as tv and movies in the 60s and 70s made it seem...

Happens too many times here. I only wish that those posting would understand if they can’t post a pix ask for help. In many cases rather than going to the source unless you have the latest tech stuff it takes forever to download pictures or can’t.
Thanks AdmSmith.
Ohhhhh myyyyyyy yesssssss!
