Eerie-looking Boiling Lake sits emitting bubbles from its steamy grayish waters at the end of a day-long hike.
Geologists believe the 207ft/63m-wide lake, the world's second largest actively boiling lake, is a flooded fumarole, a crack in the earth allowing hot gases to vent from the molten lava below.
The water temperature at the edge ranges from 180-197°F/82 - 91.5°C and in the center is actually boiling.
