In America, there has to be a fence around it or someone will jump in. 😑🙄

And it smells accordingly, right?

Do they have problems with people getting injured or falling in here?
PutItInNeutral
Probably. There's always someone who thinks they don't have to follow safety rules.

Its only water heated up by liquid hot magma, how hot could it possibly be, I'll just dip my toes in.

Probably. Looks like a nature area. There was a guy who died in the US when he went to rescue his dog that had jumped into a pool like this. I mention it because people tend to think that whoever dies that way was an arrogant idiot. Rather than a panicked pet owner.
TheDildoOfConsequences
Am I a bad person for thinking, "I'm so sorry for the dog"?
ulfgarBentbeak
Depends on if that's a result of being extra empathetic for the dog, or a lack of empathy for the person. The first just makes you an animal lover, or possibly introverted. The second would be a red flag for anti-social behavior.
TheDildoOfConsequences
I feel like antisocial people probably gonna antisoshe regardless of species. I mean, you hear about unkindness to animals being a red flag for mistreating people too.
In my case, I think it's because the dog had no way of knowing that simple clear water could be such a particularly horrendous danger.
ulfgarBentbeak
1: Antisocial people can often have soft spots for animals as well. Usually because they feel they can trust the animal more than people, or because they have power over them. 2: Most Humans aren't going to *know* how dangerous a pool like that is. Large bodies of scalding water are hard to find, so the scale of how dangerous it is will be outside their frame of reference. Hence why some are so cavalier about it.

Strokkur erupts every four to ten minutes, shooting boiling water 50 to 65 feet (15 to 20 meters) into the air, and sometimes reaching up to 131 feet (40 meters).

And then the tourists stand way too close. Oh well.

Thank you random internet person.

Seems kinda dangerous to be standing this close to it.

We asked for a railing, but get this…they said they’d be worried we would be leaning all day

I've been there and by the time the water comes back down its cool enough to be fine. However, there is a little stream coming out of the caldera and it has signs to be careful because its boiling water and I watched a guy stick his finger in to see if it was true and it was true.

People. What a bunch of idiots.
Isthe4thtimethecharm
I heard a sad story about one of the pools there. I will tell it in a reply if you don't want to know don't look. It will be the short version.

A guy took his dog to Yellowstone let it off leash. Dog immediately jumped into one of the pools that was boiling. He jumped in to try and save the dog.

“That was stupid. That was a stupid thing I just did.” Were his last words apparently, before he went into shock from his boiled skin sloughing off.
