LASSEN VOLCANIC ACTIVITY, MUD POTS AND FUMAROLES
Lassen Volcanic activity presents in Bumpass Hell, Devil’s kitchen,
Boiling Springs lake and Terminal geyser
Hydro thermal activity of the park
Can be seen on trail walk
3 hrs trail walk of Devil’s kitchen
Compact collection of fumaroles and mud pots
Water in Boiling Springs lake at 55 degree centigrade
Heated by streams rising through the underground vents and fissures
Terminal geyser with a fumarole that blasts steam into a small stream
With occasional surge and force, a worth seeing scene
Rotten egg smell of hydrogen sulphide can be experienced in Sulphur Works
A forerunner in the formation of Sulphur
Due to heat generated in Magma underneath the earth
Ground water boils and peeps through cracks as sulphur
In the figures you see mud pots and fumaroles close to parking area
