This is an extensive area of thermal activity on the west side of Yellowstone. The white in the picture is not snow but calcium carbonate deposits left by boiling water seeping and bubbling up from the ground, in this area, often through huge depressions filled with thick boiling mud. The trees have been killed by the thermal activity.
