Description
Stretching up the side of a mountain, rough yet delicate dark-gray calcarcous stone has reopened. An eruption of hot mineral-infused water flows over its delicate crust.
For decades, the cascading mounds of Angel Terrace were dry and crumbling. Scientists knew it was just a matter of time until the boiling, mineral-rich flows of Mammoth Hot Springs, Yellowstone, shifted - again.
The colorful orange microorganisms staining the pure white calcium-rich formations surrounded by dark gray crusts and burnt tree trunks, give Angel Terrace an alien appearance.
