Salton Sea

Mudpots
Name:Mudpots
Date:8/27/2006
Location:Obsidian Butte Area

Oozing up to the surface, these pools of gurgling, burping mud are a result of geothermal activity from deep below. This slurry of activity is the same source of energy used by nearby power plants. This phenomenon is definitely worth the travel to witness it. It should be noted that the surrounding water was cool to the touch.
