Sulphur Banks 4.8 / 5

Overview

This site is a bit of a paradox. You can smell the sulfur fumes in the air. You'd expect the rainfall in this area to be very acidic; you'll not be disappointed. The few measurements made indicate that from this perspective, it is a harsh environment. The paradox comes when you look at the plants. Species are abundant and many appear to be thriving, even some quite close to the sulfur vents.
