Doublet Pool is a hot spring in the Upper Geyser Basin of Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming.

Doublet Pool is 8 feet (2.4 m) deep and its temperature is approximately 194.4 °F (90.2 °C). [1] Its scalloped edge is made of geyserite. Although geysers rarely occur in Doublet Pool—only two or three have been seen—the pool on the right pulses over the vents about every two hours. [2] Sometimes, there will be vibrations, surface wave motion, and thumping; these are probably caused by collapsing gas and steam bubbles deep underground. [3]
