千游阁主:“Grand Prismatic Spring is one of the most famous hot springs in Yellowstone Park. Grand Prismatic Spring is the masterpiece of Yellowstone, just like the Welcoming Pine of Huangshan. People may not have been to Huangshan, but you must have seen the image of the Welcoming Pine; similarly, people may not have been to Yellowstone, but the panoramic view of Grand Prismatic Spring must appear on the top list of American tourism. The colorful Grand Prismatic Spring, with a diameter of about 100 meters, is the largest hot spring in the United States and the third largest in the world. It is nearly 50 meters deep, with a water temperature of up to 85℃, and about 2,000 liters of spring water gush out every minute. In the sky with clear rain, it looks even more steaming. The angle that pedestrians can see is a side plane, not the aerial panorama seen in major brochures. But even if you only peek at a corner, you can already feel its imposing momentum. There is a feeling that you don’t know the true face of Mount Lu, just because you are in this mountain. There is also a kind of, generally the scenery of the great god level will not be easily seen by people. During the whole day's tour, it rained in the few minutes we stayed here. The weather at this time was windy and rainy, making people feel like they were in the embrace of nature, and their hearts were free and unrestrained with the clouds in the sky and the rain in the wind. I have always believed that all encounters on the journey are fate. Enjoy the all-round experience of the wind, rain and heat between heaven and earth. This place is a classic! The following paragraph was heard on the Internet: "The beauty of the Grand Prismatic Hot Spring is that the color of the lake changes with the seasons. In spring, the lake changes from green to brilliant orange-red. This is because the algae and pigment-containing bacteria and other microorganisms living in the mineral-rich water body have a ratio of chlorophyll and carotenoids in their bodies that changes with the seasons, so the water body also presents different colors." Therefore, in the summer when we arrived, the chlorophyll content here is relatively low, showing orange, red, or yellow. But I heard that in winter, due to the lack of light, these microorganisms will produce more chlorophyll to suppress the color of carotenoids, so the water body will appear dark green. Compared with the Grand Prism, there are three small hot springs around it. Although they are not as majestic as the Grand Prism, they are still exquisite and beautiful.”
