Well, as you know, the last Wednesday I spoke
about the most amazing holes in the earth. This topic in my opinion is really
interesting, above all for me that i am student of geography. Between the seven
holes that i chosen for to expose in the class, one of these is my favorite.
The reason of my election is due your beauty, amazing colors, and your rarity,
because I haven't the certainty that exists elsewhere, really i don't know it.
So without further ado! My favorite hole is ''The Morning Glory Pool''
Morning Glory Pool is a hot spring in the Upper
Geyser Basin of Yellowstone National Park in the United States.The distinct
color of the pool is because of the existence of heat-thriving bacteria making
a stunning display of hues. The delicate blue water is created by thermophilic
bacteria, which thrive in the pool’s searing heat.Over the years people threw
coins, bottles and trash in the pool, reducing its flow and causing the red and
orange bacteria to creep in from its edge, replacing the blue bacteria that
thrive in the hotter water at the center of the pool.
On a few rare occasions the Morning Glory Pool
has erupted as a geyser, usually following an earthquake or other nearby
seismic activity.
Someday i would like visit to a Morning Glory
Pool.

Look at the following pictures of the wonderful
hot spring.
Once I saw a documentary on TV that explains the exploration of a part of the sea, and it talks about the bacteria that produces the pink color in this place, basically for the sulfur that it contains...its very interesting, because in this case, explains the presence of the sea with characteristics like the origin of the earth (for the sulfur of volcanoes, etc).
ResponderEliminarBeautiful pictures!!! =)
