Because it has geysers and hot mineral springs and bubbly burping clay pits. I guess some people consider that hell. Actually, it seems like a nice place to visit and I'd love to go there. But maybe people want to make it sound spooky to keep people away or lure people who are into spooky stuff, I don't know.

It is very active geologically and hydrothermally. There is steam and boiling mud and deadly gases. Except for the strangeness of the place, there is really nothing "inviting" about it as a place to live.
