The area is a wide, shallow crater that is yellow and green with sulfur and other elements that bubble to the surface. There a stream, pools and geysers and areas where the steam rises out of the ground in massive clouds. In areas there is bubbling noise, or hissing or a rattling popping noise, a lot like when a sauce pan is on a heavy rolling boil and the lid rattles.The entire smells like sulfur or rotten eggs.
