The remarkable hydrothermal features in Lassen Volcanic National
Park include roaring fumaroles (steam and volcanic-gas vents), thumping
mud pots, boiling pools, and steaming ground. Water from rain and snow
that falls on the highlands of the park feed the hydrothermal system.
Once deep underground, the water is heated by a body of hot or molten
rock beneath Lassen Peak.
