Port Lorée Hot Springs are natural geothermal springs on Ambae Island (Aoba) in Vanuatu, where chloride-rich thermal water surfaces near Lake Voui — one of the world's most spectacular crater lakes, with a vivid green acidic lake inside an active volcano that has repeatedly threatened the entire population of the island with evacuation. The hot springs emerge in the geothermally active terrain around the volcano's flanks, part of the same volcanic system that makes Ambae one of the Pacific's most geologically dramatic islands. The extraordinary juxtaposition of crater lake, active volcanic threats, lush tropical forest, and traditional Melanesian village life gives Port Lorée's thermal springs a uniquely intense and elemental Pacific character.
