(geology, planetology) The surface manifestation of a plume of molten material that rises from deep in a celestial body's mantle. (nuclear physics) An area of high radioactive contamination. (optics) Synonym of heiligenschein (“an optical phenomenon which creates a bright spot around the shadow of the viewer's head, when the surface on which the shadow falls has special optical characteristics”) (figuratively) A place notable for a high level of activity or danger.
