It is the third largest geyser in the world, and its fascinating colors are a consequence of the presence of bacteria and algae.

Located in Yellowstone National Park in the US state of Wyoming, the world's largest prismatic spring is best known for its extremely hot water and stunning color palette. It was discovered by a group of geologists in 1871, and with a diameter of 90 and a depth of 50 meters, it is the largest geyser in the United States, writes "Independent". The colorful spectrum of colors that attracts a large number of tourists around the world is a consequence of the activity of pigmented thermophilic bacteria that live in the water around the edges of the spring. The colors produced by bacteria are determined by the height of the temperature, and they depend on the ratio of chlorophyll and carotenoids present in the water. In the center of the geyser, the water is so hot that even bacteria cannot survive, and the temperature gradually drops to the edges. This also explains why the bright yellow, orange and dark red colors are on the edges, while the center is blue.
