Dominica November 2005A week-long trip to the mountainous Carribean island of Dominica (pronounced "Dom-in-EEK-a"). Primary rainforest covers over two thirds of the island, making it arguably the most untouched island in the Caribbean. This is not your typical tourist's Caribbean. The best beach is accesible only by rappeling down the side of a cliff, and the loudest nightlife hotspot is 15 feet in the air, in a treehouse surrounded by the cacophony of jungle sounds.Dates of travel: Nov 18, 2005 to Nov 26, 2005 Duration of travel: 8 days Photos taken with Canon Rebel XT 350D |
Contrary to hiker lore of gruesome boiling deaths, Marvin says no one has died in these waters. A local once fell into the lake but was only partially submerged and survived. From the waist up, you wouldnt be able to tell that anything happened at all.
With Marvins story in mind, I keep a far distance from the cliffs edge. Although the lake isnt huge (270 feet across), it is dramatic and impressive. Huge white plumes of smoke swirl off the lake. A gust of wind sometimes clears the surface, revealing the lakes bubbling, boiling hot center.
