thermal pool
Naturally warm water
A thermal pool is a body of water heated by geothermal energy—hot springs, volcanic activity, or underground heat sources.
Natural thermal pools occur in geologically active regions like Iceland, New Zealand, and Yellowstone.
The term also applies to human-made pools filled with naturally heated water: We soaked in the thermal pools after hiking.
Distinguished from regular hot tubs by their connection to geothermal sources.
