Belgian Pool, previously Oyster Spring, of the Upper Geyser Basin, Yellowstone National Park.

Belgian Pool, previously Oyster Spring, of the Upper Geyser Basin, Yellowstone National Park. The spring is less hot than other features in the area, but is still about 180 °F (82 °C). In 1929 a man from Belgium fell into this pool and later died from his burns. Boardwalks now exist throughout the basin to help prevent the repetition of such accidents.
