*SPOILERS* How!? What!? And a few questions...

How do I get that:


What do I do here:


And I was wondering a couple things:
1) Is there some trick to getting through the hot steam, or is it a form?

2) I've been all over.... Like... I can't even explain it.. This world is huge and consuming my life (I LOVE IT)! Though, I do need to limit my gaming so I need some help with this: where do I get the form so I can see in the dark? When I look at my map I see a grid of areas, so by saying "Mathala was there, just look to the northeast" I'll be able to figure it out from there.

3) How big is this game, let me know relative to where I am: I have the energy, beast, plant, and fish forms and I've been high enough to breath air, low enough to not see at all, and far enough east and west to have gotten three pets and seen the city of my ancestors? Hah! I absolutely LOVE how long it is, enormous kudos to the developers! I will look into the mod programming and see if I can come up with any kewl concepts once I finish the game.

Thanks again all, you've been the most helpful and amusing community I've ever dealt with for noobs like myself!

Down below are all answer, thus all spoilers.

You get up there by using hot soup which increases your speed, and thus your jump out of the water.
The turtle only moves away from rocks that you carry to him, but as far as I know it does nothing.
1) You get through the steam with a new form.
2) Well, seeing you've already been with the turtle, you just need to go east from there, I think you've already been in that temple. If you can't find out how to do the puzzle in the temple please ask.
3) I think you're pretty far over the half now, seeing you've been in Mithalas, The Veil, Kelp Forest, Home Waters and reached the Abyss. But there's always all cooking recipes and treasures you have to discover.
