    Podcast 155 - Surviving a RHINO ATTACK & The CO2 Cloud of Death

    In this episode of The Green Way Outdoors Podcast, we take a look at one of the strangest and deadliest natural disasters you’ve probably never heard of — the 1986 Lake Nyos disaster in Cameroon. Overnight, a silent cloud of carbon dioxide erupted from the lake, wiping out over 1,700 people and countless animals in minutes. We break down what caused it, the terrifying science behind limnic eruptions, and how events like this could still happen elsewhere. Plus, in his podcast debut, our Director of Photography Andy shares his own brush with danger — a close call with a charging rhino — and we talk about how these rare encounters can change your understanding of nature’s power.
