Mud Caldron

Description

Imagine cracks or a plumbing system that reach down several thousand feet (several hundred meters) below Mud Caldron to a source of hot water. Steam produced by this boiling rises to the surface and passes through Mud Caldron, heating the water in the process - but not boiling it. The bubblins is instead caused by carbon dioxide and otehr gases rising from below.
