Quake Lake: The Lake Created by Disaster tells the true story of how a powerful earthquake in 1959 caused a massive landslide that blocked the Madison River and formed an entirely new lake in minutes. Beneath Quake Lake are upright trees, buried homes, and evidence of a disaster that killed families while they slept. This event remains one of the most striking examples of how lakes in North America can be formed instantly by catastrophe and still preserve what was lost beneath the surface. #grea
