Grand Prismatic Spring is the name of the largest thermal spring in the USA and the third largest in the world, located in the western Yellowstone National Park in the state of Wyoming.
The Grand Prismatic Spring in Yellowstone National Park is the largest hot spring in the United States, and the third largest in the world after Frying Pan Lake in New Zealand and Boiling Lake in Dominica. It is located in the Midway Geyser Basin.
Grand Prismatic Spring was noted by geologists working in the Hayden Geological Survey of 1871, and named by them for its striking coloration. Its colors match most of those seen in the rainbow dispersion of white light by an optical prism: red, orange, yellow, green, and blue.
The Grand Prismatic Spring is a permanent fixture in the Midway Geyser Basin in the American National Park Yellowstone. The bronze is 75 by 90 meters and has a depth of 49 meters. The water temperature is a constant 85°C. This means that the bron comes out 2000 litres of water per minute before the hour.
Doordat het water extremem zuiver is, heeft het een diepe blauwe kleur. The orane small at the edges is caused by bacteria that live in the microbial matting along the edges of the bronze, where water is abundant.
