Fumaroles of Lagoa das Furnas
About the place
The fumaroles of Lagoa das Furnas are a geothermal activity field on the northern shore of Lagoa das Furnas on São Miguel Island. Eruptions of steam, hot water, and gases create a unique landscape—bubbling pools, columns of steam, and the characteristic smell of hydrogen sulfide. The site has paths and viewing platforms that allow visitors to safely observe these natural phenomena while experiencing the power of volcanic energy.
