Imagine a frozen lake which, upon melting each year, reveals the unnerving sight of the remains of more than 300 people. A small lake known as Roopkund Lake sits high in the Indian Himalayas, more than 16,000 feet (4,900 meters) above sea level. Covered in ice and surrounded by rocky glaciers, the lake appears to be a typical, albeit beautiful, natural wonder. However, during one month of the year, when the ice melts away and the bottom of the shallow lake becomes visible, the true nature of the lake reveals itself.
I was actually sleeping really well for once, only to be woken up just now by the sound of every single pitcher in major league baseball throwing thousands of big ice cubes at my apartment from the sky all at the same time!
Now that the madness is finally subsiding, maybe I'll be able to get back to sleep. I doubt it will be as deeply, though.
