GEYSERS & HOT SPRINGS


​​“Yellowstone is a gigantic pressure cooker, fueled by one of the most massive super volcanoes on Earth.  Water from rain and snowmelt, much of it centuries-old, percolates down through cracks in the Earth’s crust.  The water is heated by magma reservoirs to well over the surface boiling point, but remains in a liquid state because of the pressure of overlying rock and colder water.  The superheated water filters upward, eventually finding release in the thousands of geysers, hot springs, and other hydrothermal wonders that have awed visitors since the expeditions to Yellowstone in the late 19th century.”
