[Geysers] Rehai, Yunnan

[TSBryan at aol.com]

My earlier post was actually intended for Jeff Cross and not this list. But 
nevertheless, some more about Rehai. My best source (so far) is: 
Report on the 1st EU-China Extremophiles Expedition
to Geothermal Areas in Tengchong County,
Yunnan Province, P.R. China
 23 – 30 March 2003
Brian Jones and Yanfen Xue 


In Yunnan not far from Myanmar (Burma), the Rehai (aka, Hot Sea) thermal area 
is at an altitude of about 4,980 feet. It is certain that some of the springs 
there reach boiling temperatures, with 96 deg-C listed for one pool and 95 
deg-C for two or three others.

Jeff listed two spring names, and his Toad Eruption Spring might be the same 
as my earlier Toad Mouth. Other names, for the record: Big Boiler, Small 
Boiler, Beautiful Woman Pool, Glass Spring, Pearl Spring, Pregnancy Spring (or 
Well), Drumbeat Spring, Lion Head, and Immortal Bathing Pool. For all this, 
though, only one spring, Dagunguo (not translated), was specifically described as 
undergoing _intermittent_ eruptions.
