mud pool
Thick bubbling basin
A mud pool is a geothermal feature where hot water mixes with volcanic sediment to form bubbling, often sulfurous mud.
Found in volcanic regions like Yellowstone or New Zealand, mud pools range from gently simmering to violently gurgling.
The consistency varies from watery slurry to thick paste: We watched the mud pool belch and splatter.
