An expert explained that the collapse could have been caused in part by the lake's recent extremely low water levels.
Boaters on US' Lake Powell recently caught on camera a massive sandstone cliff collapsing into the water. According to CNN, the rockslide happened on the Utah side of the lake where water levels have continued to plunge due to the unrelenting drought conditions gripping much of the West.
Shared on Instagram, the dramatic video showed a huge rock on the side of the reservoir tilting toward the water below, before collapsing and sending a towering spray into the sky and large waves across the lake.
Speaking to CNN, Mila Carter, who shot the video, said that she was heading to Antelope Point Marina with her husband, Steve Carter, when they noticed rocks and sand falling off the cliff near the entrance of Warm Creek. They stopped the boat and started taking pictures and videos that captured the event unfolding.
