[Geysers] molten sulfur hot springs

[Steven Miller]

Jeff
About 1 mile SW of Nympha Lake is a group of thermal features. At least 2 of 
the pools in this area have "some" sulfur nodules floating on the surface. 
one pool is very large (30' x 50') and looks to have at least 3 vents 
feeding it. The nodules seem to orginate from a deeper vent at on end of the 
pool.
