Baths Fumarole

Fumarole baths: what are they and how are they formed?

Fumarole baths are thermal springs that form in places of active volcanism. They arise as a result of saturation and heating of groundwater with high-temperature volcanic (fumarolic) gases.

Fumarole gases consist primarily of water vapor, hydrogen sulfide, carbon dioxide and methane, as well as many other gases including hydrogen, helium, ammonia and sulfur dioxide. When these gases reach the surface, they create spectacular geysers, hot springs and steam plumes that can be seen at sites of active volcanism.

Fumarolic baths are an important research object for geologists and geochemists who study the processes associated with the formation of their chemical composition. An important aspect is that some fumarolic baths harbor microorganisms that can survive extreme conditions such as high temperature, acidity and pressure.

The fumarole baths also attract tourists who love to visit them because of their uniqueness and beauty. They can enjoy the hot springs, swim in them and watch the geysers in action. However, it is worth remembering that fumarole baths can be hazardous to health and safety, as they can contain high concentrations of toxic gases and substances.

In general, fumarole baths are unique natural objects that have not only scientific but also tourist significance. Their research and study allows us to better understand the processes occurring inside the Earth, as well as expand our understanding of the possibility of life in extreme conditions.

**Therms of Fumarole.** Therms are natural mineral springs of increased mineralization. Therms are formed from volcanic gases, mainly methane, carbon dioxide and hydrogen, which are released from deep faults and interact with groundwater. These underground springs are formed in
