About this work
Sol de Mañana (Morning Sun in Spanish) is a geothermal field in Sur Lípez Province, Potosi Department, southwestern Bolivia. The field extends over 10 square kilometres (2,500 acres) and is between 4,800 metres (15,700 ft) and 5,000 metres (16,000 ft) high. The area, characterized by intense volcanic activity, with sulphur spring fields and mud lakes, has indeed no geysers but rather holes that emit pressurized steam up to 50 metres (160 ft) high.
