当安德烈斯·鲁索还是个小男孩时，他在秘鲁的祖父曾给他讲过一个带有奇异细节的故事：在亚马逊深处，有一条会沸腾的河流。12年后，在一次家庭晚宴上，已成为地球科学家的鲁索听到他的姑母提起，她本人曾亲自造访过这条神奇的河流。于是他下定决心要找到它——并弄清究竟发生了什么——只身前往丛林深处。
想来泡个澡吗？
经过多年的疑问、质疑、文献查阅、屡屡碰壁与无数次沮丧，鲁索终于找到了他的沸腾之河——说实话，这条河并不完全是在沸腾，水温沿河道各处有所不同。起初只是一条细小的冷流，水量和温度沿途却急剧攀升。在河流的某些区段，水温高达约97摄氏度（207华氏度）。”将手伸入这段河水，不到半秒钟就会造成三度烧伤，”鲁索谈及照片中这段河流时说道，”不小心跌入其中，很可能丢掉性命。” 摄影：德夫林·甘迪。
