Because of it's volcanic origin, the island is largely heated by thermal energy harnessed from beneath the surface of the island.

Local farmers use hot water from the ground to heat commercial greenhouses growing flowers, tomatoes and cucumbers.

Steam is also piped from the ground at high pressure to generate power for big cities.

Tourists hike the area to see the bubbling mud pools.
