Toxic lake in Russia's Siberia becomes selfie sensation

Residents of a city in Siberia don't need to fly off to tropical locales for picturesque selfies taken by pristine turquoise waters. The lake is blue, however, due to a chemical reaction between toxic waste elements from a local power station. "We can compare it only with photos of the Maldives," said Sergey Griva, a local who visited the lake, adding he's never been to the Maldives and couldn't find it on a map.
