West Thumb Geyser Basin has several different geothermal features in Yellowstone National Park.

Lower Geyser Basin, Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming USA: shallow thermal pool characterized by orange-brown streamers formed by thermophilic microbial mats. These mats consist of heat-loving bacteria and archaea that thrive in the hot, mineral-rich runoff from nearby springs and geysers. As the water cools outward from the vent, different microbial species dominate according to temperature and chemical conditions, producing distinct colors. The filamentous structures visible are colonies of microorganisms that trap fine mineral particles, gradually building textured deposits. This phenomenon illustrates the interplay between geothermal energy, mineral precipitation, and microbial life in Yellowstone’s hydrothermal ecosystem.

This dramatic geological feature stretching about 20 miles long and reaching depths of up to 1,200 feet is carved by the Yellowstone River. It was first officially documented during the Washburn-Langford-Doane Expedition of 1870. The expedition was led by Henry D. Washburn, Nathaniel P. Langford, and Gustavus C. Doane.

Jupiter Spring is a stunning geothermal feature at Mammoth Hot Springs in Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming. Known for its vibrant, cascading terraces, the spring flows down layers of travertine—a type of limestone created as hot, mineral-rich water rises and cools, depositing calcium carbonate. The heat-loving bacteria and algae in the water produce colors ranging from white and gray to vivid oranges and greens. Jupiter Spring and other springs at Mammoth are dynamic, constantly changing due to shifts in water flow, mineral deposition, and thermal activity, offering visitors a unique view of Yellowstone's geothermal power and ecological diversity.
