Mammoth Hot Springs, Wyoming, USA

The other-worldly appearance of Mammoth Hot Springs in Yellowstone, Wyoming.

Mammoth Hot Springs

is situated on a hill of travertine in Yellowstone National Park. It was created over thousands of years as hot water from the geo-thermal spring cooled and deposited calcium carbonate. Although these springs lie outside the caldera boundary, their energy has been attributed to the same magmatic system that fuels other Yellowstone geothermal areas.
