Good god. Can someone help me think of what these things are called that I'm thinking of?

Basically I was telling my boyfriend that his eyes reminded me of these things but I couldn’t think of what they were called and I’ve searched a million different terms on google I thought would be relevant and might turn up what I’m looking for but I still can’t find it! Come on interweb.
Anyhow, they are these pools of water, like big puddles maybe, that are very bright colors. Like the edges of the pools are bright orange, then bright green then the rest is a clean bright blue. Maybe a few other colors thrown in there. I felt like they might have something to do with geysers, or sulfur, but I’m not finding anything. They’re really beautiful…I’ve seen photos of them in random places but now that I’m looking for one I can’t find anything.

No it’s not oil it’s more of a pool… @emma193‘s link is kiiind of close…
Sounds like hot springs that often go hand in hand with Geysers…
@rangerr I LOVE YOU.
SETTLED. thank god.—-wipes sweat off brow—-
Yeah, that picture is really really beautiful
@deni :D
I want to swim in it.
Naked.
It’s freaking amazing.
@rangerr DITTO…I just decided I’ll be needing to revisit yellowstone this summer and stare at it for 5 hours…then swim in it naked and be unbelievably happy FOREVER!!! yes its official. maybe i’ll bump into you while we’re both floating around in it in the nude hm! lol
@deni Naked swimming at Yellowstone, it is!
@rangerr @deni
At a water temperature between 147 and 188°F (64–87 centigrade)?
Bring a chicken and you’ll be swimming in soup. Nice looking soup though
If his eyes look like that… I’d be a little frightened. :D
@rangerr – good lookin’ out. And what a beautiful pic! Mad lurve to ya.
@virtualist WoahhhhH!!! amazing! that reminds me of the fact that i forgot to watch the meteor shower last night DAMN IT
@whitenoise Well. Crap. It was a cool thought at first.
I think you’re talking about the Paint Pots in Yellowstone.
Morning glory pools like in yellowstone.
@deni We can borrow some fire suits from somewhere. There’s gotta be a way, even if clothes have to be involved.
@rangerr HAHHHA…fire suits…wetsuits…beekeeping suits? astronaut suits? something must work!!!!!!
@deni Astronaut suits are too bulky.. if we can’t be nakey, the next thing would be something spandex. Maybe a fire-proof wetsuit?
@rangerr – It shows up for me, but here is another example of the same photo.
@Darwin I want to swim in that too!
@rangerr – You most certainly can – lots of folks do, and they don’t even need a fire-proof suit. Just get yourself a ticket to Belize.
Wow. If his eyes look like the geyser in @rangerr‘s link, he should see a doctor. Maybe several doctors.
