Sulphur Springs is the "world's only drive in volcano"; it is located in Saint Lucia towards the southwestern side of the island, near Soufriere. According to scientists, it is supposed to erupt in around 100 years and the impact of it can wipe out 3/4 of St Lucia. The water boils at 212 F but the super heated steam is hotter at 340 F. The black color in the tar is caused by a chemical reaction between the sulfur and iron. Colorful mineral deposits decorate the volcano. In these deposits are sulfur, copper, iron oxide, alkaline lead, calcium oxide, and carbon. Sulfur springs, near soufriere (french for sulfur), got a weak spot in the crust of the enormous collapsed crater creating an upheaval of lava 410,000 years ago. |
