Has a Boiling Lake
The Grande Soufriere, of which the chief feature is the remarkable Boiling lake, in the West Indian island of Dominica, is but little known even to the islanders who are constantly reminded of its presence, says Nature Magazine. Clouds of steam indicate where it lies in the mountains, and to Roseau, the Island's port, the detonations from its steam vents proclaim its close proximity.
It is only six miles from the town as the crow flies, but until an air route is established, man must foot it over a difficult and even dangerous mountain trail.
