The Norris Geyser Basin is the hottest geyser basin in the park and is located near the northwest edge of Yellowstone Caldera near Norris Junction and on the intersection of three major faults. The Norris-Mammoth Corridor is a fault that runs from Norris north through Mammoth to the Gardiner, Montana, area. The Hebgen Lake fault runs from northwest of West Yellowstone, Montana, to Norris. This fault experienced an earthquake in 1959 that measured 7.4 on the Richter scale (sources vary on exact magnitude between 7.1 and 7.8; see 1959 Yellowstone earthquake). Norris Geyser Basin is so hot and dynamic because these two faults intersect with the ring fracture zone that resulted from the creation of the Yellowstone Caldera of 640,000 years ago.
For those of you who have never been to Yellowstone, compare this scene with the Norris Basin, two photos previously. Norris looks bleak because its water is acidic, and secondarily because the water is hotter than in the other basins. The Upper Basin, which includes Old Faithful, has more vegetation and color.
Most of Yellowstone has thermophiles that produce yellows, oranges, and brown, as here. Norris (not shown) has orange-browns, reds, and some olive-greens.
It's hard to believe that it was two years ago today that we in Yellowstone and the Tetons, and that we haven't traveled since. Well, scratch 2015, and now we're planning trips later this year and early next year. In fact, we're going to try and catch the bird migration in Arizona next Feb. or March. Maybe Yellowstone again in May 2017 or 2018. Thanks to all who stayed with me and commented over the years.

Big Basin Prairie Preserve Wildlife Area
The Big Basin Prairie Preserve is 1,818 acres of native mixed grass prairie managed by the Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks. This area is in the Red Hills region of Kansas. The landscape can generally be described as rolling hills with both level uplands and small canyons. The preserve also includes an intermittent stream , Keiger Creek, which flows through the northeast corner of the preserve, and two non-draining basins that make the preserve topographically and geologically unique.
Big Basin:
Big Basin is a large circular depression. It is about one mile in diameter and about 100 feet deep. The walls of the basin are nearly vertical. Scattered across the floor of Big Basin are a number of small ephemeral ponds that catch and temporarily hold the water that flows into the basin. U.S. Highway 283 bisects Big Basin, with approximately two-thirds of the basin lying east of the road and within the confines of the preserve. The remaining western third of the basin is privately owned.
Little Basin:
The Little Basin is about 280 yards in diameter and 35 feet from rim to floor. Within Little Basin is a small permanent pond known as St. Jacob’s Well. St. Jacob’s Well is a pool of water about 84 feet in diameter that has never been known to go dry. The well has been the subject of many local legends, most associated with the idea that the well was bottomless and/or connected to an underground stream that was capable of washing away anything that fell in the well. The well was also reportedly inhabited by blind fish. Research has shown the well to be roughly funnel shaped and 58 feet deep. No evidence of any underground stream or blind fish has been found.
Big Basin, Little Basin, and St. Jacob’s Well were formed in the recent geological past by a process known as solution-subsidence. This process occurs when surface water gains access and dissolves underground deposits of salt, gypsum, or limestone. The overlaying layers of rock and minerals subside to fill the volume vacated by the water soluble deposits. The process of solution - subsidence is thought to still be occurring, and small depressions have been noted forming within Little Basin.

Badwater Basin is an endorheic basin in Death Valley National Park, Death Valley, Inyo County, California, noted as the lowest point in North America, with a depth of 282 ft below sea level.
In October 2016 I made a trip out to see the Copper Basin Railway before their imminent demise. Fortunately copper rebounded and that hasn't happened yet. Perhaps I will get another attempt next year.
The upper geyser basin of yellowstone's west side is most notable for old faithful. however there are hundreds of geysers, steam vents, and hot springs throughout the area.
I was gonna hang at home this week-end and shoot the fireworks... but the crowds are crushing for the holiday. Been there, done that, right?
I'm heading to the high country instead -

Think this nicely illustrates the quality of the Canon EOS M3.
Clearly a premier engine in a small body.
This was a handheld shot.
The basin at Bowling Harbour is a location I have been wanting to visit for a while, I spent the evening shooting many different angles.
Such a calming spot, only to be disturbed by the passing trains only yards away from me.

People flock to see the lowest point in North America. According to the sign, the elevation is -282 feet. But that is incorrect. The elevation here at Badwater is actually -279 or -280 feet. The actual lowest stop is about three miles out on the playa. It used to be marked with a small rock with -282 painted on it. I'm not sure if it's still there.
Badwater used to be the presumed lowest spot in the Western Hemisphere until it was discovered that Laguna del Carbón in Argentina was lower. Its elevation is -344 feet.
Occasional Badwater Basin will flood after heavy rains. When that happens, Lake Manly makes an appearance. The water can get several feet deep.
I believe that is Death Valley Canyon on the far side, about eight miles away.

This is a photograph of Blackwall Basin, which is an inland waterway that is part of the Canary Wharf financial district. This scene shows the multitude of house boats that are permanently moored in this area.

Cliff hanging rattlesnakes. This pair was about 7 feet from the base of the cliff and about 10 from the top. Its pretty neat to find rattlesnakes while looking up instead of down for a change.

The Copernicus Sentinel-2 mission takes us over the Tanezrouft Basin – one of the most desolate parts of the Sahara Desert.
Zoom in to see this image at its full 10 m resolution or click on the circles to learn more about the features in this image.
Tanezrouft is a region of the Sahara lying in southern Algeria and northern Mali. The hyperarid area is known for its soaring temperatures and scarce access to water and vegetation, a reason why it’s often referred to as the ‘Land of Terror’. There are no permanent residents that live here, only occasional Tuareg nomads.
The barren plain extends to the west of the Hoggar mountains and southeast of the sandy Erg Chech. The terrain shows evidence of water erosion that occurred many years ago, when the Sahara Desert’s climate was much wetter, as well as wind erosion caused by frequent sandstorms – exposing ancient folds in the Paleozoic rocks.
The region is characterised by dark sandstone hills, steep canyon walls, salt flats (visible in white in the image), stone plateaus and seas of multi-storey sand dunes known as ‘ergs’. Concentric rings of exposed sandstone strata create a stunning pattern predominantly visible in the left of the image.
White lines in the right of the image are roads that lead to In Salah – the capital of the In Salah Province and In Salah District. Just above the centre-left of the image, an airstrip can be seen. An interesting, grid-like pattern can be seen in the bottom of the image and mostly consists of human-made clearings and roads.
This image, also featured on the Earth from Space video programme, was captured on 12 January 2020 by the Copernicus Sentinel-2 mission – a two-satellite mission to supply the coverage and data delivery needed for Europe’s Copernicus programme.

I was all set to leave this area as I'd just captured the shot I wanted from Castle Geyser in Yellowstone National Park… but something told me to look a little closer. I could barely see much of anything without any moon or other light source but I could barely make out what looked geyser spray from some distant geysers. So when I captured a quick test shot looking down Geyser Basin, I was blown away by all the geysers I saw spraying up into the night sky. I'm sure glad I saw all those geysers further down the basin before I headed out!
