Hot spring at West Thumb - a photo on Flickriver

Hot spring in the West Thumb Basin by Yellowstone Lake. The colors of the hot springs vary, partly due to mineral content but also due to the microorganisms adapted to live in boiling water (called extremophiles). The yellow here must be evidence of sulfur content. The water is extremely hot.

Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming.
