Sulphur springs, Geothermal hot spring in Soufrière, Saint Lucia.
The Sulphur Springs feature dark pools of water reaching temperatures of 212 degrees Fahrenheit, creating substantial steam clouds across the terrain.
The springs emerged from volcanic activity 300,000 years ago, with the last recorded minor eruption occurring in this location during 1776.
Local residents and international visitors gather at the downstream pools for therapeutic mud baths in the mineral-rich waters at 110 degrees Fahrenheit.
The site requires an entrance fee and visitors should wear dark-colored swimwear as the mineral content in the water may stain light fabrics.
This geological formation stands as the sole drive-in volcanic site in the Caribbean, attracting approximately 200,000 visitors each year.
