風穴孔

ここに見られる小さな楕円形の穴は自然に出来上がった穴で、地熱エネルギーによって生成された熱がここから放出されます。穴の入り口付近に手を置くと、暖かい空気が静かに流れ出るのが感じられます。冬の間は穴の位置が簡単に分かります。周囲の雪が溶けているからです。


Geothermal Heat Vent


The small oval-shaped hole seen here is a naturally occurring hole that vents heat generated by geothermal energy. If you place your hand near the entrance to the hole, you will feel a gentle flow of warm air. During the winter months, it is easy to spot the vent’s location due to the melted snow around it.
