Bloody Pond, Chinoike Jigoku | Beppu City, Japan

Chinoike Jigoku is an extraordinary pond located near the Japanese city of Beppu. The Japanese word Chinoike Jigoku means "Bloody Hell Pond", filled with red water. Pond watercolor is changed according to the weather. In sunny weather, the pond color turned orange-red, and in cloudy weather, it turned into bright scarlet. During a thunderstorm, the landscape becomes truly mystical: the water in the pond becomes like real blood. A red reservoir is formed by a large content of magnesium and iron oxide in the source. The geysers of the underwater cave that spew per night more than 50 thousand cubic meters of water. Water periodically fills the cave, and the magma heats, leading almost to a boil. After that, there is an emission of red water into the lake and it seems that the lake boils. This phenomenon occurs every 40 minutes. Swim in the Bloody Pond is prohibited because the water temperature reaches 90 degrees. Above the surface of the Bloody Pond produces steam, which creates the impression of being in hell.
