The Mammoth Hot Springs area has amazing thermal features. Springs that have been running so long that the deposits have turned them into leviathans, such as the mound seen above. This is quite a feat, since earthquakes and other seismic shifts run the possibility of essentially killing springs and geysers when the earth shifts. And earthquakes are quite common in Yellowstone.
