Its color comes - not from algae - but from hydrogen sulfide gases, ferrous salts and iron in the water.
It also stinks - really badly - of a combination of rotten eggs and sewerage.
Despite the foul stench emanating from it, the appropriately titled 'Devil's Bath' is a popular tourist attraction, with thousands flocking each year to experience the area's volcanic wonders.
Suffice to say, however, that jumping into the green water for a swim would be a very bad idea indeed as the water is so acidic that it is capable of quite literally melting your skin off.
