The Upper Geyser Basin, about two square miles in area, contains the largest concentration-nearly one-quarter- of all the geysers in the world. A wide variety of other thermal features also exist here, including colorful hot springs, thundering fumaroles and violent boiling springs.Morning Glory Pool, which is named due to it's likeness to the flower, is one of the most brilliantly hued hot water springs of the Yellowstone region. There is a well marked trail which starts from the Old Faithful Geyser near the same named Inn & takes you through some of the most amazing hot water springs & geysers.
The Morning Glory Pool has changed colors over the last few years as people keep on vandalizing it by throwing literally tons of coins, trash, rocks, and logs into the pool. Much of the debris subsequently became embedded in the sides and vent of the spring, affecting water circulation and accelerating the loss of thermal energy. Through the years Morning Glory's appearance has changed as its temperature dropped. Orange and yellow bacteria that formerly colored only the periphery of the spring now spread toward its center.
Mutnovsky Volcano in Kamchatka. View from the summit of the crater. The clouds in the crater are a mixture of fumarole gases and water mist, creating an acidic fog.
This snake was hanging out in a fumarole (steam vent) in the Mammoth Hot Springs area. I ended sitting on a nearby log and watching it over lunch.
La Solfatare est un volcan situé à proximité de la ville de Pouzzoles, à l'ouest de Naples, la deuxième plus grande agglomération du pays avec quatre millions d'habitants, dans la région italienne de Campanie, au sud de la chaîne principale des Apennins.
La Solfatare constitue la zone la plus active parmi les quelque quarante volcans faisant partie du complexe volcanique des champs Phlégréens. Après le Vésuve, il est le second grand volcan actif à proximité immédiate de Naples.
This infernal spectacle can be viewed from the Tongariro Alpine Crossing in Tongariro National Park, North Island, New Zealand. The fumaroles, located in the Te Maari area on Mount Tongariro, clearly demonstrate that these volcanoes still have life in them yet.

Mud hole in the Icelandic geothermal area Námafjall.
The Námafjall is located in northeastern Iceland, east of Lake Mývatn.
In this area, also called Hverir, you will find numerous smoking fumaroles and boiling mud pots surrounded by sulfur crystals of many different colors. This sulfur gives the area a distinctive rotten-egg smell.
A small hiking trail surrounds the area and leads up to the Námaskarð pass and Mount Námafjall.

High temperature geothermal area near Hrafntinnusker and Laugavegur hiking trail. Colorful rhyolite, boiling mudpots and steaming fumaroles along with the last patches of snow.

The Námafjall Geothermal Area is located in Northeast Iceland, on the east side of Lake Mývatn. At this area, also known as Hverir, you will see many smoking fumaroles and boiling mud pots, surrounded by sulphur crystals of many different colours. This sulphur gives the area an overwhelming smell of egg.
Leirhnjukur, area di Krafla, nei pressi del lago Mývatn nel nord dell'Islanda.
Krafla è una caldera di circa 10 km e con una fenditura lunga 90 km situata nel nord dell'Islanda nella regione di Mývatn. Il suo picco più alto misura 818 m, ha eruttato 29 volte ed è profonda 2 km.
Krafla include uno dei due più famosi crateri Víti con un lago all'interno, l'altro si trova nell'Askja (Víti in islandese significa inferno).
La Krafla comprende anche un'area con energia geotermica con vulcani di fango e fumarole.

Dawn sunlight breaking across the hot springs and fumaroles of Hverarond near Myvatn, turning the geothermal plumes pink as they rose into the cold morning sky.

Hot Springs and Geysers in Yellowstone.
Yellowstone National Park preserves the most extraordinary collection of hot springs, geysers, mudpots, and fumaroles on Earth. More than 10,000 hydrothermal features are found here, of which more than 500 are geysers.
Microorganisms called thermophiles, or heat lovers, make their homes in the hydrothermal features of Yellowstone. Although individually they are too small to be seen with the naked eye, so many are grouped together in the park's hydrothermal features—trillions!—that they often appear as mats of color. These microorganisms are also called extremophiles because they inhabit environments that are extreme to human life.

Fumaroles of Gran Cratere of Vulcano. Spot the group of teary and breathless hikers for scale.
Vulcano, Aeolian Islands, Italy.
This extensive geothermal field in Lassen Volcanic National Park is known as Bumpass Hell. There are many warnings not to stray from marked paths and the boardwalk, as what looks like solid ground may be a thin crust over boiling, acidic mud. There was snow at the park earlier this week, as you can see on the one hillside. The steam from the fumaroles is picking up some of the pink light as the Sun nears the horizon.
I wish I could have stayed longer, but it is quite a hike to get out of hell, and not one I wanted to do in the dark.
A geothermal region with boiling sulfuric mud springs and steam vents, Námaskarð is located at a short distance from huge volcanic mountain Krafla. Námaskarð, Hverarönd is an expanse of fumaroles, hot springs, mud pools, and mud pots. In this stunning arctic dessert, you will find boiling water and lands. Due to the hot surface, there is no vegetation found at Námaskarð geothermal area. The constant emission of acids has made the surface completely sterile and acidic. The presence of colorful minerals at this site provides an amazing panoramic view. Natural black rivers and boiling pools emitting steam and smoke lay in this colorful landscape are breathtaking. Everything at this acidic land is permeated with Sulphur, even the air, making the area quite distinct.

La jolie ville de Taormina avec, au loin, l'Etna d'où s'échappent quelques fumerolles.
The beautiful town of Taormina with, in the distance, Mount Etna from which a few fumaroles escape.
Hverir geothermal area, sporting assorted fumaroles and mud pots, (more than) whiffs of sulphur included, just south of volcano Krafla and directly beside lake Myvatn, north Iceland.
No sun needed to stay warm here :)
