Red Spouter Yellowstone National Park Wyoming Tank Top

Red Spouter Yellowstone Wyoming by Debra Martz Prior to August 17, 1959 Red Spouter did not exist, it was just a grassy knoll. Then, just before midnight, a 7.3 earthquake 25 miles away at Lake Hebgen sent jolts through Yellowstone and Red Spouter was born. It goes through changes during the year as a hot spring after winter melt, to a mud pot late summer and a fumarole by fall nearly dry, just releasing steam. This image was taken end of summer and is more of a combination of mud pot and fumarole as it vents and splatters bits of mud. ©Debra Martz, All Rights Reserved In My Gallery/Collections: "U.S. National Parks" 202220140908-DSC_4807
