Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming, United States: the Grand Prismatic Spring, situated in Yellowstone National Park's Midway Geyser Basin, is the largest hot spring in the United States and the third largest globally, spanning approximately 370 feet in diameter and 160 feet in depth while discharging about 560 gallons of 160°F water per minute into the Firehole River via runoff channels. These channels, formed by the spring's outflow, deposit silica minerals as sinter, gradually building terraced formations that preserve ancient microbial mats beneath newer layers. The vibrant rainbow hues—ranging from blue in the sterile central pool to orange, red, yellow, and green in the margins—arise from thermophilic bacteria and algae in the runoff, where temperature gradients influence pigment production: warmer areas favor orange and red carotenoids, while cooler zones promote green chlorophyll. This microbial ecosystem, thriving in extreme heat, offers insights into early Earth life forms.
