Devils Hole is a
geothermal pool within a limestone cavern in the Amargosa Desert in the
Amargosa Valley of Nevada, east over the Amargosa Range and Funeral
Mountains from Death Valley. Its waters are a near constant salinity and
temperature (92 °F or 33 °C). The cavern is over 500 feet (150 m) deep
and the bottom has never been mapped...
The pool has frequently experienced activity due to far away earthquakes in Japan, Indonesia and Chile, which have been likened to extremely small scale tsunamis.
It's fascinating to watch the activity in this video as the water responds to an earthquake in Mexico. People have disappeared after diving in this location.
