And tourists can take relaxing soaks at a bathhouse in the park that uses warm water from the nearby hot springs. Great Springs At 5,550 acres, Hot Springs National Park is the smallest national park in the United States. People have been coming to the area for hundreds of years to enjoy its natural hot baths. Starting in the 19th century, several bathhouses that offered baths with spring water opened in the region. Many visitors with illnesses went there, believing that the waters could help cure (治愈) them. The area became a national park in 1921. People aren't allowed to take baths directly in the springs. But you can still visit the one bathhouse that remains in operation at the park. You can also drink the spring water from special fountains (喷嘴式饮水器) around the park. And don't worry about burning your tongue. When the water flows from the ground into the pools, it's very hot. But it cools before reaching the park's baths and fountains. Home at Hot Springs Besides the springs, visitors to the park can also see some pretty cool wildlife. Sounds like there are a lot of ways to have fun at Hot Springs National Park!

In the 20th century factory ships changed the whaling business completely. Whales were caught and processed on board. Advanced technology made it possible to track whales in the water.
