Geamăna is an abandoned village in Romania.
Geamăna truly looks like an amazing place but it has a very sad story
which starts when the valley was flooded by polluted water from a
copper-open-pit mine (Roșia Poieni). The
cyanide-based mining residuals flooded the valley and the village which
is nowadays became an abandoned village with a smelly reddish lake.
Although the colors are beautiful, the stench near the lake it’s
unbearable and the ecosystem it’s completely destroyed. Unfortunately, a
second project nearby is about to begin (2014) a gold mine (cyanide
based mining as well).
