YELLOWSTONE'S HOT SPRINGS INSECTS (Reprinted from Y.E.S. Quarterly 7(1), JAN/MAR 1990) by William D. O'Donnell At first it seems unbelievable that such an extreme environment could support life, but life on Earth is quite tenacious and manages to adapt and even thrive in some of the harshest conditions imaginable. Accordingly, a well developed ecosystem can be found within these hot springs. Plant life is the primary producer in most ecosystems, and the hot springs are no different. In the hottest of waters, near the sources of the springs, nothing grows. However, as the water flows out it cools. The first "plants" to colonize this hottest zone are the blue green algae (Cyanobacteria) and bacteria. As the water flows farther and cools more, other plants, mostly true algae and protozoans such as Euglena, are found. Since these different species are often of different and sometimes vivid colors, the temperature zones are often obvious due to the colors. Many of Yellowstone's springs, such as Grand Prismatic are justly famous for their rainbow of colors surrounding them like a bullseye. In many springs, especially those which are acidic the true algae, especially the genus

Yellowstone National Park Norris Geyser Basin Norris Geyser Basin Norris Geyser Basin's Back Basin Norris Geyser Basin. Norris Geyser Basin is the worlds most unpredicitable and changing geyser basin, it contains the worlds tallest active geyser (Steamboat Geyser) as well as being the hottest geyser basin in the world. In one scientific drill hole located at Norris Geyser Basin the temperature was recored at 459 F (237 C) only 1,087 feet (326 meters) below the surface. Norris Geyser Basin is the most acidic geyser basins in the world. With some of the geysers having a pH of 3.3 to 3.6 (almost the pH of vinegar) (water has a pH of 7). So this makes Norris Geyser Basin a Geyser Basin one does not want to miss while in Yellowstone.
What to see at Norris Geyser Basin
  • Echinus Geyser - erupts every 35 to 75 minutes and shoots into the ari 40 to 60 feet (12-18 meters) and lasts for 6 to 14 minutes but can last for 60 minutes or longer. The main attraction though is how close you can get to the geyser when it is going off unlike Old Faithful geyser where you are a couple of hundred of feet away at Echinus you are only 20 to 40 feet away if that.
  • Steamboat Geyser - The worlds tallest geyser is located at Norris Geyser Basin. When it goes off it goes off for about 20 minutes in the water phase and then the steam phase lasts more then an hour. It shoots to a hight of over 300 feet high. But there is a problem that the interval is 4 days to 50 years. The last time it went off was in 1991. But then it just went of in May of 2000 and once again there was not a ranger present to see it. More on the story later.

Among the are a's most appealing natural wonders are the hot springs at Lakeview and Summer Lake. Since they were developed as resorts and therapeutic sanitaria in the early part of the century, these historic landmarks have attracted visitors from all over the world. Hunter's Hot Springs lies just outside Lakeview on Highway 395. When the site was developed in the 1920's, three geysers were struck. One of them, "Old Perpetual," still spouts hot water to a height of over fifty feet every ninety seconds. It's the only active geyser in the far west, and the pond surrounding it features blue fish that have adapted to life in hot water. In addition to its natural fountain, Hunter's Hot Springs has a motel and a large hot pool open to the sky.

    Introduction D ozens of sulphur springs, bubbling pots and the famous Boiling Lake suggest an island that's ready to blow its top. On the contrary - while nearby islands erupt (Montserrat now, neighbouring Martinique earlier this century), Dominica just simmers gently, on the lowest of heats. But wherever you are on the island, there's never a bit of hot water far away. You may even catch the smell of sulphur in the wind...
    Morne Aux Diables
    Volcano World says of Dominica:
    The island... consists mostly of breccias, domes, pyroclastic flows, and lavas derived and erupted from at least seven volcanic centers. There have been no historic eruptions on the island. However, in 1880, there was a steam blast in the Valley of Desolation. Four solfataric areas, including the famous Boiling Lake, remain active. Boiling Lake The Boiling Lake is located 5 miles (8km) east of Roseau in the heart of Morne Trois Pitons National Park The first recorded sighting of the Lake was in 1870 by Mr. Watt and Dr. Nicholls, two Englishmen working in Dominica at that time. In 1875, Mr. H. Prestoe, a government botanist, and Dr. Nicholls were commissioned to investigate this natural phenomenon. They measured the water temperature and found it to range from 180 to 197 degrees Fahrenheit (82 - 91.5 Celsius) along the edges, but could not measure the temperature at the centre where the Lake is actively boiling. They recorded the depth to be greater than 195ft (59m).

    Original Trip Description: (July 18-28, 1991) Y ellowstone's 3,472 square miles defy characterization. It is many parks rolled into one. The world's first national park, it was originally created in 1872 to protect the world's largest concentration of geysers, hot springs, and related features. It has since become the richest wildlife preserve in the continental United States. C ircling the park by van, we will hike daily, visiting many of the park's geothermal zones including Old Faithful, Imperial Geyser, Fairy Falls, Firehole, Upper Geyser Basin, Shoshone Basin, and Mammoth Hot Springs. At Canyon Junction, we'll view one of the park's most spectacular sights, the magnificent Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone. The countless shades of red and yellow within this 24-mile-long, 1200-foot-deep gorge are a visual delight. Contained within are two waterfalls, one higher than Niagara. T he second portion of our trip will be to the smaller (485 square miles) Grand Tetons National Park. The Tetons are the epitome of how mountains should look. Their unrelentingly steep rise from a flat plain culminates a giddy 7000 vertical feet above in sharp pointed peaks composed of hard granite. The trip is rated leisurely to moderate (L/M).

The beautiful town of Bath has the only thermal springs in England, which usually yield more than 500,000 gallons daily at a temperature of 120º F (49º C). The waters are drunk medicinally and used for hydrotherapy treatments, and the Georgian Pump Room, with its fountain, has long been a rendezvous for visitors who are "taking the waters." Many European spas are located in forested alpine settings such as Sankt Moritz, Switz., Évian-les-Bains, Fr., Badgastein, Austria, and Bormio, Italy.

Spa after spa followed; today there are more than a dozen, making Calistoga the most spa-ified town in the West. "In the natural state, what we had around here was hot springs bubbling up all around. When they put wells down for swimming pools, it concentrated it, and the hot springs were lost," said John Merchant, whose Indian Springs Spa and Resort stands on the site of Brannan's fashionable 19th century watering hole. Until rather recently, mud baths were promoted as an arthritis treatment. They entail lying for 10 to 15 minutes in a sarcophagus like tub filled with mud made from hot-spring water mixed with volcanic ash, peat moss, clay or other materials, depending on the spa.

    Geyser Valley - Kamchatka
    Home Kamchatka Home Page Kamchatka Picture Gallery (Nechayev) The Geyser Valley is a unique and world-famous natural feature situated on the east of Kamchatka Peninsula, about 200 kilometres north east of Petropavlovsk. It was discovered in 1914 by the Russian geologist T.Ustinova. She found many geysers, hot springs, boiling mud, vapour springs and hot lands close to the river Shumnaya. Scientists of different fields started exploring and studying this area in 1940ies to explain why these geysers and hot springs appear, how they operate and to discover their influence on the surrounding areas. Pulsating Hot Springs differ from geysers as they are continuously erupting with very short calm periods. For example "Sakharnyi" (Sugar) Hot Spring has eruptions every 4-5 minutes, with a duration of about 2 minutes. The small pools of these hot springs are always full of boiling water pouring over the edges and forming small streams. Some of the pulsating hot springs had been geysers in the past, but changed their character for natural reasons (mainly micro relief changes) or because of human activity. Every second there are about 250-300 litres of thermal water pouring out in the Geyser Valley. The various hydrothermal phenomena of Geyser Valley influence their local environment, such as rock, relief, air, soil, flora and fauna. The air has a permanent chemical laboratory smell as water vapours produced by geysers and fumaroles are associated with hydrogen sulfide, methane and other gases. Thermal grounds do not get a permanent snow cover during the winter. The vegetation bursts into bud earlier in spring, birds start making nests, insects and brown bears wake up earlier. The varied mineral compositions and temperatures of natural springs has resulted in some having health and medical resorts built around them.

The Tatio graben is filled with volcanic material up to 1,800 meters thick. The main reservior of water is found within the permiable layers of volcanic materials. These permiable volcanic layers are capped by impermiable volcanic material. A series of fractures allow the hot water to reach the surface. The heat source is not known for certain, but may be the result of the cooling of the volcanic materials that were deposited in the graben, or a body of magma beneath the graben which is cooling. The thermal activity at El Tatio covers and area of approximately 10 square kilometers and occurs in the form of geysers steaming pools boiling pools fumeroles ... pools where the water is "bubbling" or boiling . In the case of the geysers, the force of the boiling water, within a restricted conduit, results in the water being propelled above the surface. At the time of the author's visit, only one geyser was active , shooting water approximately 2 meters above the surface. Information from local guides indicate that activity has varied over time and that more geysers have been active in the past. Many of the pools and hot springs have

    New Zealand lies in the Southern Pacific Ocean, 1600km east of Australia. It is made up of the North and South Islands and a number of smaller islands, with a total land area of 266,200sg km. Mountain ranges and hill country dominate New Zealand's landscape; one of the most striking physical features is the Southern Alps. These, along with fiords, glaciers and lakes, and the coastal plains of Canterbury and Southland, add to the variety of the South Island scenery. In the North Island, the volcanic interior contains New Zealand's largest lake, Lake Taupo, and most of the country's active volcanoes - Ruapehu, Ngauruhoe and Tongariro - all usually quiet, although Ruapehu has been active since September 1995. Hot springs, geysers and mud pools also form part of the volcanic system centred around Rotorua.

    A geyser is a special type of hot spring that erupts periodically, ejecting a column of hot water and steam into the air. The name geyser comes from Geysir , the name of the best-known geyser in Iceland ; that name, in turn, comes from the word gjósa , "to gush." Table of contents 1 Overview

    Overview
    Geysers are quite rare, requiring a combination of geology and climate that exists in only a few places on Earth. There are only six geyser fields of any size in the world: Yellowstone National Park Wyoming Iceland North Island ... Russia ; El Tatio, Chile ; and Unmak Island, Alaska . (There used to be two more fairly large geyser fields in Nevada , called Beowawe and Steamboat Springs, but they were destroyed in the by the installation of nearby geothermal power plants, which reduced the available heat and lowered the local water table to the point that geyser activity could no longer be sustained.) There are a few more individual geysers scattered around the world, in Peru Bolivia Mexico Dominica ... Kenya and Japan , but no other places where geysers are clustered in large numbers.
