Description

Temperature 161�F Dimensions 100x130 feet. Depth 27 feet. The edges of this pool display the color of the rainbow, hence the name. Algae and cyanobacteria are responsible for the varied colors. This pool has only erupted a few times in the past. During one eruption in 1948 it reached a height of 25 feet. The last known eruption was in 1973. The famous Handkerchief Pool, located along the southern edge of Rainbow, was a popular pool at the turn-of-the-century. Tourists dropped handkerchiefs at one end of the pool and convection currents would pull them under. A moment later they would reappear in another vent, freshly laundered. The pool has not functioned since 1929 when it became plugged by human vandalism. It is now a small spouter and inaccessible because of microbial mats. Underground connections exist between Rainbow Pool, Green Spring and Handkerchief Pool.
