Fumarole fields

Fumarole fields are areas on the Earth's surface where hot gases and steam escape through cracks or vents in the ground. These emissions originate from underground volcanic activity and often occur near active volcanoes. The gases, primarily sulfur compounds combined with steam, create a steaming, sometimes colored, landscape. Fumarole fields are important indicators of volcanic activity and can influence local environments. They are fascinating natural phenomena that highlight the Earth's dynamic interior processes while typically posing some geothermal and volcanic hazards.
