Description

Yellowstone was created in 1872 in an effort to preserve its enormous wildlife populations and to divert development atop its unique geothermal features. Yellowstone National Park is home to more than 10,000 geothermal features, the largest collection on Earth. Geysers, steam vents, travertine terraces, mudpots, and fumaroles create an extraordinary landscape where you are surrounded by rising steam, spewing water, and colorful textures. No two of the hydrothermal features are the same and each one is astonishing in its own way. The majority Yellowstone (96%) is in Wyoming. Norris Geyser Basin is the hottest, oldest, and most dynamic of Yellowstone's thermal areas. Each year at Norris new hot springs and geysers appear; others become dormant. Geologic events trigger many of these changes.
