Thermal pools, Mud Volcano
There is a collection of wildly varied-looking pools downhill from several major springs in the Mud Volcano geothermal area; the pools are unnamed (perhaps they change character too often for a name to survive). I think they're fed by runoff, precipitation, and possibly from their own underwater seeps. Most are bubbling gently, indicating gases, like carbon dioxide - arising from vents underneath them. In some cases they're rimmed by colorful plant life and between some of them, mature trees flourish
