Description

As I walked through the thick steam of the Norris Geyser Basin in Yellowstone National Park after below-freezing temperatures and snow overnight, I tried to imagine how early humans viewed the otherworldly landscape. Whether it was humans of the Paleoindian period (~10,000 years ago), or any of the other groups of humans down through the ages, or the known native American tribes and Europeans in recent centuries, it must have been an awe-inspiring sight. On this day, the thick steam coming from the thermal features seemed to mix with the cumulus clouds to produce an almost opaque vista where it was hard to tell where the steam ended and the clouds began. Norris Geyser Basin is the hottest, oldest, and most dynamic of Yellowstone's thermal areas. Norris Geyser Basin is changing all the time, which makes it one of the most interesting thermal areas in the Park. These changes can involve unusual boiling, chemical changes to water, variations in spring activity, and increases in acidity and cloudiness of certain hot springs and geysers.

The Midway Geyser Basin in Yellowstone National Park (Wyoming, USA) is home to many spectacular thermal features including Turquoise Pool. Rudyard Kipling, who visited Yellowstone in 1889, immortalized this basin by referring to it as "Hell's Half Acre." The thermal features in this area are HOT, with Turquoise Pool measuring between 142 and 160 °F (61 and 71 °C). No, it is not safe to swim in! The amazing colors of the thermal features are due to organisms called thermopiles, microscopic species that thrive in waters as acidic as the liquid in your car battery and hot enough to blister your skin. Where you see rings of color, there are, most of the time, rings of different bacteria, each group adapted to the conditions, such as temperature and pH of their environments.
