Red Pool Geothermal Pond is located on Adak Island, Alaska, at the far end of the Aleutian chain. Its sulfurous water, around 40°C, feeds an indoor pool and an outdoor rotenburo bath at this remote North Pacific site.
Insider tip — Red Pool Geothermal Pond sits on Adak Island in the remote Aleutian chain, one of the most isolated geothermal features in North America. The vivid reddish hue comes from iron-oxidizing bacteria thriving in the sulfurous volcanic water. Access to Adak requires a small plane flight, making this a true expedition destination visited by very few bathers each year. The surrounding treeless tundra and constant Pacific winds create an otherworldly atmosphere unlike any other hot spring on earth.
