Fumarole

Photograph of an inactive fumarolic fissure.

. Photograph of an inactive fumarolic fissure. This fumarole formed along a fracture that is near the edges of the ignimbrite (see Figure 20). Deposits at the top of fissure are windblown accumulations of pumice, with colorful alteration from steam and hot gases that deposited their dissolved minerals in and around the pieces of pumice. When this photograph was taken in 1982, a weak vapor plume was still coming through this fumarole, but it is now filled in by windblown pumice and ash.
