Chinese Spring and Firehole River, Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming

Colorful bacterial mats originating from the bubbling Chinese Spring point toward Firehole River in the Upper Geyser Basin area of Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming. Almost every geyser and hot spring in Yellowstone hosts bacteria. Here, the bright orange streaks are the result of Cyanobacteria Phormidium.
