  • Water boils out of a small spring on the Birds Nest Terrace in the Waimangu Volcanic Rift Valley near Rotorua, New Zealand. The terrace is part of a hydrothermal system in 1886 by the volcanic eruption of Mount Tarawera. Waimangu means 'black water' in Māori, the indigenous language of New Zealand. The area was given that name because its largest geyser erupted water that was filled with mud and rocks.

  • Steam rises from the colorful terraces of Palette Spring in the Mammoth area of Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming. The rich color of the spring comes from microbial mats and the overall appearance varies throughout the year because of weather. In this early autumn image, Oscillatoria microbes are producing a rich orange; those microbes are most active when the temperature is less than 68 degrees Fahrenheit (20 Celcius).

  • Steam rises from the water-filled Inferno Crater, located in the Waimangu Volcanic Rift Valley near Rotorua, New Zealand. The terrace is part of a hydrothermal system in 1886 by the volcanic eruption of Mount Tarawera. Waimangu means 'black water' in Māori, the indigenous language of New Zealand. The area was given that name because its largest geyser erupted water that was filled with mud and rocks.

  • A variety of thermophiles, which are microorganisms that thrive in heat, are responsible for the colors in the Grand Prismatic Spring, located in the Midway Geyser Basin area of Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming. The yellow-green color comes from the thermophilic cyanobacteria Synechococcus, which is found in the hottest water of the spring (up to 161°F or 72°C). Phormidium, which is orange, is found in the spring's middle temperatures (113-140°F or 45-60°C). Calothrix, which is brown or black, is found in the coolest temperatures, although not lower than 86°F or 30°C. The terraces are the result of minerals that solidify in water that spills out of the spring.

  • The texture of the main cave in Carlsbad Caverns National Park, New Mexico, shows folds, curtains, terraces and other decorative features. The decorations, known as speleothems, are formed when groundwater containing calcium bicarbonate solution seeps into the cave. Then that solution is exposed to the air in the cave, carbon dioxide gas is released and calcite is deposited.
