La Soufrière sometimes La Souffrière: it is a still working vulcano in Guadeloupe. Maybe some other vulanos are named like that.

It's origin lies in the word "sulfur" or sulfur or sulphur, one of the elements that occurs in volcanic areas. Mixed with water it has a very nasty smell, to compare with the smell of rotten eggs and has a deep yellow colour. The stuff is used in medicin.
