The hydrothermal conditions were so intriguing. There was bubbling hot, multi-colored water and the smell of sulphur everywhere. I read about thermophiles, organisms found in these waters that thrive in extremely high temperatures. These organisms are helping scientists find life on other planets.
Mammoth Hot Springs (below) was quite a sight – chalky, icy white scalding waters.
There was a deep canyon created from the activity of lava flows and glaciers– the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone.
Yellowstone is so full – lakes, canyons, geothermal activity, forest. It made me feel deeply how things are constantly changing. Each corner of this park is slowly shifting every moment, just as I am as a human being. There were numerous signs I read that said, “Don’t think this will be the same park next time you come.” That’s life for you.
