It's located here for those wondering: https://maps.app.goo.gl/js7miFSkRBa86t15A?g_st=ac

If you click on the little resorts/hotels/towns around the area, there are many pictures and videos of steam rising of this little river. It's obvious the area is well frequented by tourists. Not as remote as I thought it would be.

Life existing at the extreme of liquid water is indeed unique. Dropping some of them into the boiling oceans of Enceladus and waiting a hundred years would be a fun experiment.

It's all fun and games until the mutant spiders fight the mutant ants in large-scale wars, and somehow eventually starts being able to contact us back at earth.
