Great Acid Lake (Location)

The Great Acid Lake was a location in City Shaft, in the planet Terra 2014. The lake rested at the bottom of the city, and its acidity was a result of the toxic waste dumped into it. Its toxicity could also explain the origin of mutations in the city's population. The Lair of Amok was located just above it.

It was first shown in the first issue of The Incal, The Black Incal.

History
The lake was the endpoint of the infamous Suicide Alley, killing anyone who felt into it. At times whirlpools would form in the lake, which could serve as entries to Center Earth. A lightweight spaceship could be used to sail across the lake, as shown in The Luminous Incal, but the hull would eventually be completely corroded.

Some characters affeceted by the lake:
 * John DiFool's mother (felt into it, dying).
 * Tanatah (thrown into it, but survived; also sailed across it, sucked in by a whirlpool).
 * John DiFool, Solune, The Metabaron, Deepo (sailed across it, sucked in by a whirlpool).
