RE: Lassen Volcanic National Park 2

Interesting to see photography of these sulfur pots, have heard of them previously.

Cannot for the life of me remember which mine my brother was on with sulfur gas which is most unpleasant to smell.

No wonder nothing grows close up the acid levels must be high, not very clever for people to go closer to witness!

Sort:  

The ground around the pots is often eaten away and people fall through. I looked up the park and the injuries and 2 people have been air lifted out with 3rd degree burns to their legs from falling through. Not good.

Scary chemical, burns, breathing it in, and eye damage, definitely think before going to close, surely the smell alone would put one off?

Crust surrounding is always deceptive, you never know the veins underfoot!

Always interesting to see from further afield, if it kills off trees why would people not think of what it would do to your lungs or sight, always amazing how silly humans are never observing warnings.
