Inferno Crater Lake is the largest geyser-like feature in the world,[dubiousdiscuss] located in the Waimangu Volcanic Rift Valley. The geyser itself cannot be seen since it plays at the bottom of the lake. The lake's depth when full is 30m, and overflow temperatures can reach 80 degrees Celsius. The water is highly acidic.[1]
