HEART SPRING by PRISCILLA BURGERS
Image is Heart Spring, a beautiful, clear, deep hot spring in the Upper Geyser Basin of Yellowstone National Park. It was given its name because of the heart-like shape of the crater. The geothermal areas of Yellowstone include several geyser basins as well as other geothermal features, such as hot springs, mud pots, and fumaroles. The number of thermal features in Yellowstone is estimated at 10,000 and 200 to 250 geysers erupt in Yellowstone each year. Yellowstone has the highest concentration of active geysers in the world, thanks to its location in an ancient active caldera. The various geyser basins are located where rainwater and snowmelt can percolate into the ground, get indirectly superheated by the underlying Yellowstone hotspot, and then erupt at the surface as geysers, hot springs, and fumaroles. Thus flat-bottomed valleys between ancient lava flows and glacial moraines are where most of the large geothermal areas are located. Hot springs are the most common hydrothermal features in the park. Superheated water cools as it reaches the surface, sinks, and is replaced by hotter water from below. This circulation, called convection, prevents water from reaching the temperature needed to set off an eruption. Many hot springs give rise to streams of heated water. Heart Spring has had temperature fluctuations from 150 to 202 degrees F. This wide range of temperature has allowed microbial growth to form varicolored patterns. This spring is typical of many of Yellowstone's thermal springs. Nearly 10,000 thermal features exist in Yellowstone and many are alkaline hot springs similar to Heart Spring in size and appearance. One feature which distinguishes each is the bright, colorful cyanobacteria and algae which grow along the edge of run-off channels. Each spring has its unique pattern.
