Stean is a noun that refers to a strong, hot vaporous exhalation or column of gas and steam that rises from the surface of certain geothermal areas, such as hot springs, volcanic regions, or natural saunas. It arises as a result of natural geothermal processes where underground water is heated by either magma or hot rocks. The intense heat causes the water to evaporate rapidly, creating a mixture of hot water vapor and gases that ascend in the form of a stean.
Stean is commonly associated with geothermal activity, and its appearance is characterized by a dense, mist-like cloud that often obscures the surrounding landscape. The visible column of stean may vary in size and height, depending on factors such as the temperature and pressure of the underground geothermal system.
The term "stean" has historical roots and is particularly prevalent in certain regions with notable geothermal activity, such as Iceland, where the word "stean" originally comes from. The presence of stean is often utilized for its therapeutic benefits, as it is known to have soothing and healing properties due to the minerals dissolved in the water vapor. As a result, many geothermal areas attract visitors seeking relaxation and rejuvenation, and the natural beauty of stean formations has become a tourist attraction in various parts of the world.
