Hot Spring
This hot creek exits the region around the Grand Prismatic Hot Spring. The colors are the result of heat loving microbes. Different species of microbes live in different temperature zones. The color of the microbial mats is determined by the pigments within the microbes and on the temperature gradient in the runoff.
