Clues:
1. Part of an area called “sacred waters”
in the local language, this spring is 25 kilometers south of an island
city founded in the 14th century. 2. The bubbly, hot spring pool derives its name from the character of its thermal waters. Fed by groundwater, it sits in a hydrothermal eruption crater that formed about 900 years ago. 3. Orange precipitates visible around the rim of the pool are rich in arsenic, antimony, mercury and thallium, and contain ore grades of gold and silver. This suite of elements highlights the fact that this geothermal system is an active analogue of systems that form epithermal gold deposits in volcanic arcs.
