Mammoth Hot Springs

Fascinating features in every direction - that's what you find at Mammoth Hot Springs, in Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming, US. I think this was taken at the Main Terrace. Terrace features can change rapidly.
"Mammoth Hot Springs is a large complex of hot springs on a hill of travertine in Yellowstone National Park adjacent to Fort Yellowstone and the Mammoth Hot Springs Historic District. It was created over thousands of years as hot water from the springs cooled and deposited calcium carbonate (over two tons flow into Mammoth each day in a solution). Although these springs lie outside the caldera boundary, their energy has been attributed to the same magmatic system that fuels other Yellowstone geothermal areas." From Wikipedia.
