Mammoth Hot Springs, Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming

アメリカ・ワイオミング州・イエローストーン国立公園

Overlooking New Blue Spring towards Mammoth Hot Springs Village at Yellowstone Park in Wyoming.

New Blue Spring is one of the Mammoth Hot Springs Terraces in the northwestern part of Yellowstone National Park. The travertine terraces are deposits of calcium carbonate, formed when limestone underneath the terraces is dissolved by mildly acidic heated groundwater, raised to the surface by the hot springs and solidifies there when it is exposed to air. During periods of high flow, individual terracettes can grow rapidly, as much as 20 centimeters per year.
