There was a beautiful area outside the pool with a designated path.  A mixture of peacock blue water and lava rocks covered with moss provided visitors a close look and feel.   Interestingly enough, I thought the water would be warm but it was actually cool.  The white substance you see is a buildup of rich minerals like silicon and sulphur.  The following photos depict this area.
