A kilometre-long lake near the town has mostly disappeared as the lake's water drained into at least two sinkholes. "This is pretty shocking," said Amy Tizzard, a regional geologist with the Nova Scotia Department of Energy and Mines.

(Mike Johnson - top image; Nova Scotia Government - bottom image)"There'd be a big enough pore space to accommodate the size of the lake," Tizzard said.
