[00:00:00]Scientists were stunned when they found a natural river that actually boils.

[00:00:05]Deep in the Amazon, there's a place where geothermal heat from underground warms a stretch of river so much that the water can reach near boiling temperatures.

[00:00:14]Animals that fall in can be cooked in minutes, and mist rises off the surface like the cauldron of the earth itself.

[00:00:21]This extreme environment isn't caused by a volcano right next to it, but by hot water traveling through hidden fractures in the crust.

[00:00:30]It's a reminder that our planet is still wildly active under our feet, even far from erupting volcanoes.
