Grand Prismatic Spring
Also known as the Grand Prismatic Spring or the Eye of the Earth, it is located at coordinates 44.524569, -110.837975 in Yellowstone National Park , USA . With a diameter of approximately 100 meters, it is the largest hot spring in the United States and the third largest in the world. It is about 75 to 91 meters wide and 49 meters deep, with a water temperature reaching 85°C, and approximately 2000 liters of 71-degree Celsius water gushing out every minute. It was first discovered by explorers in 1839. The amazing thing about the Grand Prismatic Spring is that the color of the lake changes with the seasons. In spring, the lake changes from emerald green to a golden orange-red. In the height of summer, the chlorophyll decreases, so the lake displays a vibrant orange, red, or yellow hue. But in the depths of winter, due to lack of sunlight, the water turns a deep, dark green.

Yellowstone Lake
Yellowstone Lake, hailed as an "unparalleled high-altitude lake," is the largest lake in Yellowstone National Park and one of the world's largest high-altitude lakes. Nestled among mountains and volcanic landscapes, the lake boasts expansive and magnificent scenery, with clear, tranquil waters showcasing Yellowstone's unique high-altitude natural landscape. Yellowstone Lake has an average water temperature of about 5 °C and a massive volume, with its water level naturally changing every 8–10 years. Influenced by its size, depth, and climate, the lake's appearance changes significantly with the seasons: it often freezes over in winter, while in summer the surface becomes vast and mirror-like, occasionally transforming into a spectacular "inland sea" under the influence of wind. In late summer, the lake's natural stratification due to temperature differences creates rich and delicate layers of color, reflecting the surrounding mountains and cloud formations.

West Thumb Geyser Basin, located on the shore of Yellowstone Lake, was formed 150,000 years ago by a tectonic subsidence. The combination of hot geysers and lake water creates a unique, misty landscape: the steam rising from the hot springs rises amidst the shimmering green waters of Yellowstone Lake, reflecting against the backdrop of blue sky and white clouds, creating a scene unlike any other hot spring area in Yellowstone. This area is essentially a bay of Yellowstone Lake, where many geysers converge. The vents display a variety of colors, some transparent green, others a dark, cement-like black. The numerous vents create a beautiful, fantastical scene.

The park isn't large, but it features giant arches made of deer antlers in the four cardinal directions. The antlers are all hard and durable, making it a shame they aren't used to make deer antler tonics. These antlers aren't from hunting; they're from the large numbers of elk that migrate from the mountains to Jackson's National Elk Sanctuary every winter. In the spring, the antlers naturally shed and are replaced, leaving behind countless treasures after the elk leave.
