Boiling Lake, Dominica
Not really a volcano, but rather a lake produced by the accumulation
of water from hydrothermal vents.
Located immediately to the southeast of the volcano Micotrin
in the "Valley of Desolation".
Low rainfall in the last few years has seen the lake level
drop
and the water turning black.
A strong smell of sulfur is recorded in the area.
A fabulous geologic map of the island can be found here
The stamps shown below were the last to be issued in sterling
currency on the island.
