This hot spring in yellowstone is well-known for its beautiful, vibrant colors. But what many people don’t know is that this hot spring used to be bright blue. But after many years of humans treating the hot spring like a garbage can, it has lowered the temperature of this spring allowing different bacteria to thrive, (that cannot survive in the hotter temperatures). As the water temperatures cool, microbial mats grow along the hot springs, causing the other colors you see here. So basically these colors are the result of humans being inconsiderate and ruining the natural wonders of our planet. Moral of the story: TAKE CARE OF THE EARTH
