Photographs of Upper Geyser Basin, Yellowstone National Park

After North Goggles Geyser, the anti-clockwise loop of Geyser Hill continues to Goggles Spring, an irregularly-shaped pool whose water level is usually a few inches below the thick sinter rim, and is adjoined to the north by a cooler, shallower, circular pool lined by orange and yellow cyanobacteria. The geyser almost never erupts, but it produces a significant amount of water, flowing west as a well-defined stream for 400 feet to the Firehole River.
