Lake Nyos is a crater lake located in Cameroon, West Africa that has the potential to be deadly. The lake is known for its limnic eruption, which is a type of natural disaster that occurs when a large amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) is suddenly released from the bottom of the lake. This can happen when the water in the lake becomes too deep and the pressure at the bottom of the lake causes the CO2 that is dissolved in the water to be released in a huge cloud.
If you were to fall into Lake Nyos, the sudden release of CO2 could cause you to suffocate, as the gas would displace the oxygen in the air. The CO2 cloud released by the lake can also travel great distances, killing people and animals in its path.
Lake Nyos is currently being monitored and degassed to prevent such a catastrophic event, however, it's important to note that the lake is not safe for swimming or any other recreational activities.

Lakes such as Kivu are scary, yet fascinating. I wouldn't be surprised if other such lakes exist around the world.
