HistoryThe pool was named by Chief Park Naturalist Clyde M. Bauer, possibly after a reference to Lieutenant G.C. Doane's 1870 description of a spring in this area which spoke of the visibility of objects in the "deep abysses" of the pool.[2] A visitor in 1883 described it as "a great, pure, sparkling sapphire rippling with heat.".[1] GeologyAbyss Pool has a depth of {{convert|53|ft}}. The pool erupted for the first time in recorded history between August 1987 and September 1991 and again between December 1991 and June 1992. The eruptions were between {{convert|30|ft|m}} and {{convert|100|ft|m}} high. Since 1992, the pool has returned to its non-eruptive state.[1] See also
