Description
Brightly coloured bacterial mats fed by hot, acidic water from the Grand Prismatic Spring, Wyoming.
The Grand Prismatic Spring is located in Yellowstone National Park, an UNESCO world heritage area in north western Wyoming. The carotenoids and chlorophylls in the thermophilic bacteria give rise to their dramatic colourings, somewhat suggestive of streams of lava.
