Description

These trees have died from sulphuric acid and other baddies bubbling up from below the thin crust. Danapommet commented that these trees are 'petrified' here in the geyser fields - he is right of course and so was I hoping for no eruption!!!

So this could be fossils, Jeff. What impressing photo-shots and landscape. Dangerous, I guess. Maybe it smells bad too.

It's fascinating, that they got to be a certain size and then were overtaken by sulphur. SO interesting!

To see these trees dead here must mean that the volcanic activity has increased in size so you were probably right to be apprehensive. They make for great captures though.
