About this

See the Boiling Lake at the Morne Trois Pitons National Park

The Boiling Lake is a flooded fumarole located in the Morne Trois Pitons National Park in Dominica. It is one of the largest hot lakes in the world, measuring roughly 60 to 90 meters across, and is filled with water heated by volcanic activity beneath the surface. The lake sits in a deep, steep-sided depression surrounded by dense rainforest and is reached by a hiking trail that passes through varied terrain and geothermal features. Temperatures at the surface can reach near boiling point, and the water often emits steam and sulfurous gases. The site is monitored due to fluctuations in water level and temperature linked to volcanic and seismic activity.
