Grand Prismatic Explosion

A long exposure of the Grand Prismatic Spring at the Midway Geyser Basin in Yellowstone National Park
🔸 The spring is approximately 370 feet in diameter, 121 feet deep and is a temperature 160°F. It's also the 3rd largest hot spring in the world
🔸 Sadly on August 2014 some idiot crashed a remote-controlled flying drone into the spring. Scientists are fearful that the sunken drone could clog one of Grand Prismatic’s vents or melt and permanently disrupt the bacteria in the site’s microbial mats, which produce the brilliant colors
🔸 Climbed to the top of the mountain to the south to get this shot, this time with clouds
