	Dominica's Boiling Lake - New Year Alert, lake has empltied! (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Dominica's Boiling Lake is a unique natural attraction, the second largest of its kind in the world, after that at Rotorua in New Zealand's north island.
		The vigour off the lake was estimated to be about 50 to 75% of its normal strength, though the heavy cloud of steam that is normally associated with the lake when boiling "regularly" has not yet returned.
		Boiling Lake continues to be monitored by the Forestry Division and is now regarded to have settled back down to its normal condition, continuing to attract our visiting hikers.

	Boiling Springs Lake
		Boiling Springs Lake Thermal Area (BSLTA) is a pristine, high-elevation (1805 m) designated wilderness area of LNVP that includes a large, acidic (pH 2), hot (52C) lake known as Boiling Springs Lake (BSL), several weakly pressurized fumaroles, and small hot springs and mud pots of variable T and pH (Fig.
		The southern end of the lake appears to be the hottest region of BSLTA, where actively bubbling springs and mud pots are continually present, and T ranges from 65-95 C, even though many of these features are in direct contact with lake water.
		On the west and east sides of the lake are a variety of springs ranging in T from 25-93C, pH from 1-4.5.

	Travel: As Boiling Lake refills, it may turn toxic (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		ROSEAU, Dominica - The water in Dominica's Boiling Lake, which mysteriously stopped boiling three months ago, is rising and could abruptly spew out toxic fumes, making it dangerous for visitors to approach, according to officials.
		The Boiling Lake, actually a volcanic crater in the heart of a rain forest, stopped boiling Dec. 24 and the water level dropped about 40 feet.
		At the same time, the earthquake may have created other fissures that drained the lake, according to Allen Smith, chairman of the geology department at California State University in San Bernardino, Calif. He said the lake could be refilling with rainfall and underground seepage.

	Dominica's Boiling Lake
		Hidden within these forests are sulphur springs, patches of boiling mud, fumeroles, multi-coloured streams, crater lakes, underwater hot springs and, of course, the Boiling Lake itself, deep inside the Morne Trois Pitons National Park, now a Unesco world heritage site.
		Yet the valley seemed alive: with a whooshing sound from clouds of sulphur that rise from fumeroles; streams come and go, rocks are the colour of stained-glass windows, bubbling waters emerge inky-fl or dribble milk, or flow primrose-yellow from sulphur, or orange from iron.
		But not always: it can be pale-green and glassy; or grey and stormy, and despite its "boiling" reputation (people have been seriously burned by its waters and two at least killed by poisonous fumes), a friend of mine, amazingly, once swam in it - on a day when the water had been tepid, almost cold.

		These changes in the activity of the Boiling Lake are again believed to be a reflection of local changes in the geothermal system, and are not related to any changes in the level of volcanic activity.
		In 1901 a small steam and gas explosion from the Boiling Lake (which was almost empty at the time) released harmful gases (probably mainly carbon dioxide) into the atmosphere and killed two people who were at the water’s edge at the time.

		The lake stopped boiling Dec. 24 and the water level dropped about 40 feet, leading the Agriculture Ministry to warn that it could rise unpredictably and spew toxic fumes.
		The lake is "boiling again but not as powerful as normal," James said.
		Sulfuric fumes from the lake have destroyed what once was lush rain forest, leaving a desolate valley scattered with rocks covered with yellow sulfur crystals and colored hot springs that get green, yellow, orange and blue hues from mineral deposits.

		The Dominica boiling lake has stopped boiling and the water level has dropped 30 to 40 feet according to a report from the Forestry and Wildlife Division on December 28, 2004.
		The boiling lake is located in the area and believed to be a flooded fumarole, a crack through which gases escape from the molten lava below, rather than a volcanic crater.
		The natural basin of the Boiling Lake collects the rainfall from the surrounding hills and from two small streams which empty into the lake.

		The 200-foot-wide lake is a crater filled by underground rivulets and rainwater and heated by volcanic gases.
		Since the boiling stopped in late December, the water level has fluctuated, dropping as much as 40 feet, leaving a sludgy pool of gray sediment on the bottom and a ring of mineral residue.
		In 1900, when the lake stopped boiling for a month, a Dominican guide and two tourists were peering into the nearly drained crater when a sudden belch of sulfurous gas issued from beneath the water.

		Mickey Springs and the springs north of Borax Lake are boiling at the surface (94 and 95o C, respectively).
		Inflow temperatures to Borax Lake, measured at a depth of 30 m, are greater than 100o C. Surface temperatures for Alvord Hot Springs and a flowing well northeast of Borax Lake are 78 and 59o C, respectively.
		Boiling, mixing with condensate, oxidation, mixing with 1-3% tritium-bearing, near-surface cold water, relative differences in flow rate and volume, and slow cooling without vigorous boiling are processes that modify fluid composition during upflow from the deep geothermal reservoir.

		The natural basin of the lake collects the rainfall from the surrounding hills, which then seeps through the porous lake bottom, where it is trapped and heated by the hot lava.

		Following investigation of lake bathymetry and physical structure (using a remotely operated vehicle designed and operated by undergraduate engineering students), we propose to sample two thermally distinct regions of BSL, at various time intervals throughout the project duration, for biological and chemical analyses to assess temporal variation in the measured parameters.
		In addition, we will involve students in producing a color booklet for LVNP visitors, highlighting the structure, chemistry, and biology of this unique lake, and giving the public a deeper appreciation of the microbial world.

	Volcanic Lake Research
		To further explore the range of chemical conditions among volcanic lakes, a database of 373 lake water analyses from the published literature was compiled and analyzed using several statistical and geomical analysis tools.
		The chemistry of the fluid entering a lake may be dominated by a high-temperature volcanic gas component or by a lower-temperature fluid that has interacted extensively with volcanic rocks.
		A further classification is based on a cluster analysis and a hydrothermal "speedometer" concept that uses the degree of silica equilibration of a fluid during cooling and dilution to evaluate the rate of fluid equilibration in volcano hydrothermal systems.
