Grand Prismatic Spring in Yellowstone National Park exhibits striking concentric rings of color: deep blue at the center, transitioning to green, yellow, orange, and red at the edges. Steam rises from the vibrant geothermal spring, creating an ethereal atmosphere. The colorful bands are caused by microbial mats, thriving at different temperatures. Surrounding the spring is a barren, mineral-rich landscape, bordered by forested hills. A wooden boardwalk allows visitors to experience the natural wonder safely. This geothermal feature is a highlight of the Midway Geyser Basin in Wyoming, USA.
