Scientists Discover The Largest Subterranean Hot Spring Lake In The World In Albania! With A Volume Of 8,335 M³ Of Water, The Natural Formation Impresses With Its Grandiosity And Unique Characteristics.

In 2021, a team of scientists from the Czech Republic discovered a vast system of caves with hot springs in southern Albania. Due to a lack of suitable equipment at the time, confirmation of the lake’s exact dimensions only occurred in 2024, when the researchers returned with advanced 3D scanning technology. The measurements revealed that the lake, situated 127 meters deep, is 138 meters long, 42 meters wide, and contains approximately 8,335 cubic meters of thermal water, making it the largest known subterranean hot spring lake to date. The discovery of the largest subterranean hot spring lake in the world, led by Czech speleologist Marek Audy, was funded by the Neuron Foundation, in honor of which the lake was named. The information is from National Geographic and Wikipedia.

The Discovery By Scientists Of The Largest Subterranean Lake In The World

The Neuron Foundation, an organization that promotes research by Czech scientists, funded the exploration. In honor of the institution, the scientists named the largest subterranean hot spring lake in the world “Neuron”.

According to the cave explorer who led both expeditions, Marek Audy, in a statement, for the science of the Czech Republic to present this incredible discovery, it was necessary to develop precise measurements and scientific research.

According to Richard Bouda to Euronews, a photographer and member of the expedition, during the first exploration, the scientists developed a basic map using their equipment and immediately realized they had discovered something extraordinary. Last year, with funding from the Neuron Foundation, the group returned to the site.

This time, they brought an instrument with remote sensors that uses a laser to measure distances and create 3D models called Lidar scanner, to map the largest subterranean hot spring lake in the world in detail. The results indicate that the lake has 8,335 cubic meters of water, equivalent to approximately 3.5 Olympic swimming pools. Additionally, it measures 138 meters long and 42 m wide.

According to Audy, to National Geographic CZ, the team of scientists plans to return to Neuron Lake in the near future to delve deeper into their studies. He emphasizes that this could have significant relevance in understanding subterranean ecosystems and geological processes. The explorer states that scientists want to observe other parts of the cave, learn more about the biology and geology of this area.

The largest subterranean hot spring lake in the world, Vromoneri, is located near the village of Kuqes, in the municipality of Leskovik, in the Sarandaporos valley, a tributary of the Vjosa River, 430 meters above sea level. These hot springs emerge at the base of a rock formation with temperatures ranging from 40 to 50°C and contain sulfur compounds.

They have scientific, hydrological, geological, tourist, and therapeutic value and are accessible via the rural road Leskovik-Kuqes. The Czech scientific funding organization provided nearly 1 million Czech crowns, equivalent to R$ 238,000, for the expedition, donated by private sponsors.
