Hey there, fellow Earth dwellers. You probably think you know this planet pretty well by now.

Blue marble, seven continents, maybe a few fun trivia facts to impress people at parties.

There are rivers hot enough to cook you alive with no volcano in sight,

faster than you can say, I probably should have read the warning sign.

When we think of dangerous water, most of us picture rip currents, sharks, or perhaps the

been hiding some seriously homicidal bodies of water, and it's time we had a proper introduction.

We'll begin in the heart of the Peruvian Amazon, where a river exists that most scientists

dismissed as pure legend until remarkably recently.

The Shanaitim Pishka, known more commonly as the Boiling River, sounds exactly like something
