Description
Like a magical pool in a fairytale, Grand Prismatic Spring in Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming, has rings of brilliant color surrounding it's heavenly blue center. The bright orange streamers on it's outermost edges are caused by carotenoid-carrying microbes (Deinococcus-Thermus) living in water that's a mild 131 degrees Fahrenheit/55 degrees Celsius.
