From: Richard M. King <KING at KESTREL> Another point that people seem to have missed is that the existance of brimstone lakes does not set a lower bound of 444C (temperature of boiling sulpher) on the temperature. Nowhere is it mentioned that Hell is maintained at 1 atmosphere; given its location the pressure is probably much higher. Anyone know offhand the critical temperature of Sulpher? There could also be dissolved impurities that raise the boiling point (although they wouldn't raise the critical temperature). Dick -------
