Steam rises from Doublet Pool. Upper Geyser Basin, Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming, USA, natural history stock photograph, photo id 07242
Doublet Pools, in the Upper Geyser Basin near Old Faithful, exhibit distinct raised edges as a result of many years of mineral deposition. At intervals of about twenty minutes, the pools will beat like a drum, with the water surface visibly vibrating and accompanied by a audible thumping noise and ground vibration surrounding the pools, as a result of collapsing steam bubbles far below.
