Crested Pool is a hot spring in the Upper Geyser Basin in Yellowstone National Park.
Although it is considered a spring, Crested Pool sometimes erupts like a geyser.
Crested Pool has had a variety of names since it was first described by the Hayden Geological Survey of 1871.
[3] In 1970, a nine-year-old boy, Andrew Clark Hecht, accidentally fell into the spring and died.
[4] The Andrew Clark Hecht Memorial Public Safety Achievement Award was created in his memory, and is annually given to the individual or group who contributes the most in public safety.
