Beppu, Japan has the second largest volume of hot water in the world after Yellowstone Park and has the largest number of hot spring sources in Japan. Beppu contains nine major geothermal hot spots, which are sometimes referred to as the "nine hells of Beppu". These are photos I took in Jigoku park (Hell park). Dispite the name, it was quite beautifu. You can see how the sulfur and steam turned the water a light blue/green. In some of the ponds, the steam heated the clay in the dirt and dyed the water dark red.
