It looks like the perfect, tranquil backdrop for yoga poses or those jealousy-inducing vacation photos. But according to The Telegraph, the water is actually filled with hazardous chemical waste that poured out from a closed World War II-era tungsten mine. The mine was once used to produce an iron manganese tungstate mineral for craft light bulb filament.

I love how the media has proclaimed these people as “influencers”... If you’re dumb enough to be influenced by anyone on Instagram, you deserve what you get...

All for 12k followers?

12k followers doesn't make you an influencer.

Not necessarily. If they don’t own the land, they can’t put up a sign legally.

Sadly, none of that might defer some risk takers. Even after suffering the side effects of Monte Neme, one Instagramer named Uxía told Publico that her rash was “a little bad, yes, but the picture was worth it.”


True dedication to attention whoring.

Instagram posts tagged with the location reveal photos of newlyweds and small babies, and bikini-clad women posing on its dirty shores. In another photo, someone is floating in the water on a unicorn inflatable while wearing a balaclava. “The next morning, my legs turned slightly red and itched for two days,” they wrote.

When they all get cancer in 5 years, I wonder if they'll still think it was worth it.
