Description
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.
