The Frying Pan


Any guess why call this Frying Pan Lake?  :).   Frying Pan Lake is located in Waimangu Volcanic Rift Valley in Rotorua, New Zealand.  It is the largest hot spring on this planet.  It's also about 20 feet deep on average with vents that go as deep as 65 feet.  Various acid springs feed the lake making it dangerously hot with an average temperature of up to 130 degrees (easily burning skin within seconds).
