Mud potA mud pot is a hot spring that takes the form of a viscous, often bubbling, slurry. Mud pots form in geothermal areas when hot water rises to the surface at a spot where the soil is rich in volcanic ash, clay and other fine particulates. Mud pots are sometimes called paint pots, when the slurry is particularly colorful.
