Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Firehole Spring, White Creek Group, Lower Geyser Basin, Yellowstone Hotspot, northwestern Wyoming, USA in August 2011 (looking ~NNW).
Firehole Spring is a beautiful, fascinating, overflowing hot spring - it’s one of my favorite Yellowstone features. This steaming, delicate blue-colored pool has a near-center vent from which light-colored, flickering and flame-like gas bubbles frequently emerge. Only some of the gas bubbles significantly disturb the water surface with small bursting splashes. Bursts can reach about 6 feet high. The gas bubbles are composed principally of steam (H2O). Upon emerging from the pool’s vent, most steam bubbles are cooled by the surrounding water and condense into liquid water, thereby not disturbing the surface much. The yellowish-orangish-brownish areas on the northern side of Firehole Spring have extremophile bacterial mats. |
