Have you ever seen the earth breathe? Here at the Small oil pit, you’re witnessing a powerful reminder of the forces shaping our planet. Don’t let the name fool you. While “small” is in the name, the Small oil pit is a dramatic volcanic steam vent area in Yangmingshan National Park. The name “Small oil pit” actually comes from a misunderstanding. Early observers thought this was the smaller of two vents. However, it’s actually the largest and most accessible volcanic steam vent area in all of Taiwan. Imagine a leftover lava chamber, kilometers beneath our feet, heating groundwater to a boil. That’s what’s causing the dramatic plumes of steam and sulphurous gases you see erupting from the earth. The air is thick with the smell of sulfur, often described as smelling like rotten eggs. This place is like a window into the Earth’s fiery core. Take a moment to appreciate the raw power of this active volcanic landscape at the Small oil pit. It’s a sight you won’t soon forget.
