A huge underground thermal lake has been discovered below a Turkish bath in the Hungarian capital, Budapest.

Divers have spent weeks exploring its hidden depths while the government discusses opening the lake to the public.

The (quoted) text is incorrect, the TV reportage was more precise: the underground lake was discovered in 2003, what's new is a tunnel shaft bored into it.

I'd hope it won't be opened to the public... as geologists plead for the same.
