And this seems like it would have a "pressure cooker" effect--the volume of water expands as it heats, and with the cold water "lid" holding it down, if it keeps heating up, something has to give...
Just a question, hope it's not too silly...

a "pressure cooker" effect Why don't they install one of those wobbly pressure cooker valve things? It would have to be a tourist attraction in itself, a few hundred tons of weight bouncing around on a pipe and releasing a ton of sulphurous steam every few seconds.
