Another look at the curative mud pools at Karayahit near Denizli, Turkey. But hold on, these are not the thermal pools Denizli is famous for. Those appear much later in this album. (Karayahit, Denizli/ Pamukkale, Turkey, Nov. 2014)
Bubbling,steaming,near boiling ( 90 to 95C) mudpools, caused by geothermal activity beneath the surface.Doesn't smell too good either.....small amounts of hydrogen sulphide......"rotten eggs" pong!!
The valley 'Reykjadalur' or 'Smoke Valley', is a valley where geothermal activities are very high. Hot springs, grey-black mudpools and warm streams everywhere. Many small earthquakes occur in this area.

The road to Krýsuvík passes by a solfatara field at Seltún. Sulphur has been mined at Krýsuvík from time to time. The latest attempt was made in the late 19th century by a British company, which set up its working base here but had to give up soon.
The main sulphur area is a fumarole field in the col to the southwest. At Seltún, there are mud pools and steaming ground where some sulphur and also white and yellowish brown sulphates are deposited. The sulphates dissolve in water and become mottled and disappear in rainy wheather. The largest mud pools are east of the road, one of them almost extinct and filled with mud washed in by the stream from the solfatara creek west of the road.
In the mid-20th century there were plans to develop the geothermal field for utilisation, including power production, and Seltún then became one of the main drilling targets. There are old drill pads to be seen near the path along the creek. The borehole in one of them started erupting intermittently in the winter of 2010, but a few days pass between the eruptions. The outlet has been diverted sideways across the creek.
Another old borehole blew up in 1999 forming a crater with a diameter of about 30 m, now filled by mud except where a flow of steam keeps boiling pits open. The explosion debris covers the slope as a carpet of yellowish mud up to about 100 m to the northeast of the crater.
The water of the pools is surface water heated by steam from a boiling geothermal reservoir underneath. Accompanying gases such as hydrogen sulphide and carbon dioxide acidify the water and alter the rock to clay. Only the uppermost 300 m of the reservoir at Seltún is boiling, i.e., follows the boiling curve in accordance with increasing pressure. Below this depth, a temperature inversion occurs, indicating that the boiling section is fed laterally from an upflow some distance away.

Random mud pool within the grounds. Used a high shutter speed and upped the contrast to bring out the hissing and spluttering of the mud. This is not actually a black and white photo, it's the colour of the mud and the temperature.
South of the Krafla area, but not actually within the caldera is Námafjall, a mountain, beneath which is Hverir, a geothermal area with boiling mudpools and steaming fumaroles
Tourists walk around the belching mud holes of Hverir, the geothermal area beneath the pastel-coloured Námafjall, in the northerh Mývatn area. Safe pathways through the features have been roped off to avoid serious injury to the visitors and damage to the natural features.
The Karayahit mud pools area is quite large, as the souvenir stall at the far end seems to indicate. One can actually walk on the makeshift boundaries between the pools, but no one from our group tried as the demarcating boundaries were narrow, uneven and slippery.

Here we see him invading in the other deer's mudpool (see earlier pics) - I'm sure the trouble isn't over but my stay there nearly is............

One of the two ponds/lakes at active Jigokudani (Hell valley) north of Noboribetsu, Hokkaido, Japan. Okunoyu, with its gray-black bubbling sulfurous spring waters has a surface temperature of 75-80 Celsius, and like Hell Valley itself, is the remain of craters created by the eruptions of the Kuttara volcanoes.
The waterfall is a bit off the beaten track, not so big, but the blue colour of the water is it's main attraction. This warm and wet winter has made the path leading to the fall into on bad mudpool.
This is from a mud pool which is just off the road on the way down to the Lady Knox Geyser near Rotorua.
It's amazing to see these steaming, stinking, brown pits full of mud, bubbling and boiling away like the land is still forming.
The landscape is just incredible and at every turn it amazed me just how diverse it is.

"This is fango" I was told after emerging from the fango pool on vulcano. It is supposed to be healthy ;-)...

Tourists walk through Hverir, the lunar-like landscape of bubbling mud holes, steaming vents and fumaroles at the far side of Námafjall, in the northerh Mývatn area. The stench of sulphur can be deterring, but a visit is definitely recommended.

Blue puddles of mud boil under the intense volcanic heat of Námafjall, Hverir in the East of Iceland.
Wiki Info: Krafla is a caldera of about 10 km in diameter with a 90 km long fissure zone, in the north of Iceland in the Mývatn region. Its highest peak reaches up to 818 m and it is 2 km in depth. There have been 29 reported eruptions in recorded history. The Krafla area also includes Námafjall, a geothermal area with boiling mudpools and steaming fumaroles.

Another shot from the mud pool at Wai-O-Tapu Thermal Wonderland - seriously we could have spent hours here (and I mean just watching this mud pool)!
Mud pools are a fascinating thermal feature. When they are very active, it is endless entertainment. I love to photograph them. For more information: www.waiotapu.co.nz/

Vachellia is a genus of flowering plants in the legume family, Fabaceae, commonly known as thorn trees or acacias. It belongs to the subfamily Mimosoideae. Its species were considered members of genus Acacia until 2009. Vachellia can be distinguished from other acacias by its capitate inflorescences and spinescent stipules.
The members of Vachellia are trees or shrubs, sometimes climbing, and are always armed. Younger plants, especially, are armed with spines which are modified stipules, situated near the leaf bases.
Vachellia collinsii (also known as Acacia collinsii) is native to Central America and parts of Africa. It grows in secondary succession in seasonally dry ecosystems in southern Central America, with preferences to Savannah-like climate.
Vachellia collinsii can grow up to 40 feet tall. The tree grows relatively straight with thorns generously distributed across the branches.
It exhibits a symbiotic relationship with several species of ant (Pseudomyrmex spinicola, Pseudomyrmex ferruginea). The ant-Vachellia system involving this species has been studied by ecologists like Daniel Janzen in Palo Verde National Park and Santa Rosa National Park, both in Guanacaste Province, Costa Rica. The ants chew holes in the tips of the hollow stipular thorns, known as domatia, so that they can enter, and create their colony inside. A single ant colony may span several V. collinsii trees. Medium sized herbivores are deterred by the thorns but the ants help protect the trees from attack by other smaller or larger animals such as caterpillars and elephants. When a predator brushes and shakes the plant’s thorns in an attempt to feed, the ants will become disturbed and run outside and release alarm pheromones to alert other ants. All ants that come in contact with the volatile become aggressive and attack the animal by biting and stinging.

This is taken in Hverarond, a large field of solfataras (geo-thermally- heated mud pools). Steam rises up all over this area, mud bubbles, and the sound of hissing steam and gurgling water is everywhere.
There are numerous mud pools, where you can litteraly see mud boiling.
