Boiling Lake

Boiling Lake is the world's second largest boiling lake (but the largest of its type in the world), and is located 5 miles (8 km) east of Roseau, in the heart of Morne Trois Pitons National Park. The first recorded sighting of Boiling Lake was in 1875, by Edmund Watt and Dr. Henry Alford Nicholls, two Englishmen working in Dominica at that time, and their guides. Later that year, Henry Prestoe, a government botanist, and Dr. Nicholls were commissioned to investigate this natural phenomenon.
