One of the places we stopped at was the La Soufriere Volcano. Once upon a time, they allowed people to actually go down that steaming, hissing, bubbling area and walk around. A tour guide a few years back stopped that, though, by stomping on the ground (why, I don't know...), and the ground crumbled under him, dropping him into the boiling mud and water down below. Thankfully, he did not die from that, but, alas, that is why we aren't allowed to go down there! The tour guide showed us a pipe where water was coming out, and it looked like someone was drawing a bath. The steam was pouring out of it! The only negative about this was that it smelled strongly of sulpher/rotten eggs. The tour guides told us if it ever stopped sending out steam, then that is the time to leave the island because it is going to blow!
