Morning Glory Pool, #13352

Morning Glory Pool has long been considered a must-see site in Yellowstone. At one time a road brought visitors to its brink. Over the years they threw coins, bottles and trash in the pool, reducing its flow and causing the red and orange bacteria to creep in from its edge, replacing the blue bacteria that thrive in the hotter water at the center of the pool. The pool is now accessed only by a foot path. Upper Geyser Basin. Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming, USA, natural history stock photograph, photo id 13352

The blue water in the center is too hot to support any bacterial life, while the outer orange rings are the coolest water.
