Where living things "boil alive", the mystery of the hottest river in
Shanay-Timpishka River

It sounds incredible, but it's true. The river that boils alive is not found in myths or fiction, but in the heart of the Amazon.

Believe it or not, the Shanay-Timpishka River is located in the Mayantuyacu region of Peru. Its water can reach temperatures of up to 100 degrees Celsius. Explorer Andrés Ruzo traveled all the way to the Amazon to unravel the mystery of this “mystical” river.

He told foreign media: "The hottest temperature I've ever measured is 100 degrees Celsius. It's unbelievable to imagine, but it's true. You put your hand in the water and you'll get second-degree burns or worse, third-degree burns within seconds."

While the river's name sounds like a nightmare, climate scientists from the University of Miami are more objective. They say this evaporating river could actually be a "window of hope for the future."

"Whether we like it or not, the Amazon is going to get hotter. So this allows us to understand what increasing temperatures will do to the composition of the forests. It can tell us which species will be lost and what the composition of the forest might be like in the future," said one of the scientists.

Shanay-Timpishka was first spotted by geoscientist Ruzo in 2011. He had heard a lot about this river from Peruvian legends. Although it seemed like fantasy, a lie, or a myth, there was something that intrigued him. He traveled to the place where the legends spoke and confirmed what sounded like untruth.

Meanwhile, geoscientists' research found the response of water heat in the Shanay-Timpishka River.

When rain falls on the surrounding area, it collects in the porous sedimentary rock. As it moves through the rock, it is heated by the primary heat of the Earth's crust, reaching a maximum temperature of 100 degrees.

Living things whose instincts go wrong and enter the river boil alive. Meanwhile, geoscientists have noticed that there are very few living things that can withstand those high temperatures. On the other hand, the vegetation around the riverbed seems more resistant.
