Re: Morning Glory Pool From Yellowstone
Fading Glory Morning Glory Pool is losing its brilliant color. Through ignorance and vandalism, people have tossed objects into the hot spring, clogging its vent and lowering the temperature. Brown, orange, and yellow algae-like bacteria thrive in the cooler water, gradually turning the vivid aqua-blue into a murkier greenish brown. All thermal features are at risk. Hot springs and geysers have fragile, complex plumbing that takes centuries to develop. Morning Glory's future is uncertain; Every year park personnel remove hundreds of rocks, coins and other objects from Morning Glory Pool. Brown, orange, and yellow algae-like bacteria thrive when the hot spring's temperature drops. http://www.pointofinterestroadsigns....dingglory.html |
