warm & cool natural spring (because of the very unusual nature of this spring) Explanation: This is just another alternative because I agree with Nozomi and Yuzouren that it is a "spring." This one seems to be a very unusual spring from what I have seen from your website. http://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/nndc/struts/results?t=100006&s=1&d=... The above website has the following: Thermal Springs List for the United States. In it, is a long list of "thermal springs" with different names: hot springs, warm springs or seeps. Since this spring is warm in the winter and quite cool in the summer, I thought adding "warm & cool" to the definition may be a possibilty. Because of the irregular and unusual nature of this place, perhaps it can also be called: "Egawa Cool & Warm Natural Spring." -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 hrs (2007-04-09 08:31:11 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- or "Egawa Cool & Warm Spring" -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 hrs (2007-04-09 08:33:15 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- If it is a literal translation, using "spring" is perfect. If it is for describing a tourist site, perhaps some "poetic license" can be taken. |
