hot pool
Heated natural water
A hot pool is a body of water naturally heated by geothermal activity, found in volcanic regions like New Zealand, Iceland, and Yellowstone.
Hot pools range from pleasantly warm to scalding.
Some are developed for bathing: We soaked in the hot pools after hiking.
The term overlaps with hot spring, though pool emphasizes a contained basin rather than flowing water.
