Boiling Lake

Morne Trois Pitons National Park, Dominica

Boiling Lake, located in Morne Trois Pitons National Park in Dominica, is a flooded volcanic fumarole and the second-largest boiling lake in the world.

It measures about 200 to 250 feet across, with water temperatures reaching up to 200°F (93°C), causing constant bubbling and steam due to geothermal activity beneath. The lake sits at the bottom of a large sinkhole surrounded by steep rock walls, often enveloped by vapor clouds.

The site is accessible through a challenging 6 to 8-hour guided hike passing through rainforest, hot springs, sulfur vents, and volcanic landscapes, making it a popular destination for adventurous visitors and nature enthusiasts. Recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site, the lake and its surrounding area are notable for their unique geological features and rich biodiversity.
