Travertine gel

When water from the hot springs, supersaturated with calcium carbonate, reaches the the surface, carbon dioxide degasses from it, and the mineral precipitates out as a soft gel - hence the slipperiness of the wading pools. Eventually the gel hardens into travertine.

Travertine gel

When water from the hot springs, supersaturated with calcium carbonate, reaches the the surface, carbon dioxide degasses from it, and the mineral precipitates out as a soft gel - hence the slipperiness of the wading pools. Eventually the gel hardens into travertine.
