Black Pool got its name when it was actually black. Until 1991 water temperature in this pool was lower so that Black Pool was inhabited by dark green and brown thermophiles, which gave the pool black appearance. Water temperature rose in 1991, followed by several eruptions, which made Black Pool too hot for thermophiles.
