Summary from English Wikipedia (enwiki)

Dirty Socks Hot Spring is a formerly developed hot spring near Death Valley, Inyo County, California, in the United States. A sulfur spring, the naturally occurring unpleasant odor may have been compared to smelly socks. The water is also often discolored with algae growth. Another explanation is that the spring was named from the fact miners washed their dirty socks there. The name may also be rendered as Dirty Sock, singular.
