Description
Copyright: Christiane Schulze
A large clear blue pool, Sapphire Pool has a solid sinter rim level with the ground surface. The edges of the pool have shallow sinter shelves that contain yellow and orange thermophiles. Sapphire Pool use to be an active geysering pool prior to the 1959 earthquake. After the earthquake, the gorgeous pool was filled with muddied water and began to have larger eruptions. It wasn't until 1971 that the pool's color cleared and activity stopped. The minor geysering prior to 1959 has not returned, and the pool has not had an eruption since 1991, indicating a change to the plumbing system as a result of the 1959 earthquake.
Sapphire Pool has an average temperate of 159.8°F (71°C), an average pH of 7.9, and an average conductivity of 2239 uS/cm.
