Field work at Baile Herculane

After a few days from the 2 week long field work in the southern part of Romania, we went to Baile Herculane to sample water sample to see if they contain dissolved gases. It is the area the waters are geothermal and sulfurous.

Our first stop was the Despicatura cave below one of the hotels. (The sign is written the following: Do not enter in the cave! Danger of suffocation and thermal shock.) As good researchers we entered the cave.:)
   
 At another thermal spring I tried to measure the gas fluxes from the spring itself.

 Collecting samples for analyses.

 Entering a smaller cave to sample the spring water.

I hope the results will be interesting! :)
