This area is called the Norris Geyser Basin. Proximity to the hot magma below the earth’s surface, makes this one of the hottest thermal areas in Yellowstone.
We are at the Porcelain basin, a 0.6-mile boardwalk that encircles hundreds of geothermal features
Porcelain basin gets its name from the milky color of the mineral deposits here. The hot water from the springs, bring the mineral up to the surface and deposits it into a sheet, covering the flat geyser basin floor.
Over time, the deposits block the spring, causing pressure to build up. The hot water flows under the ground and eventually finds another weak spot to break through. This makes the area, one of the fastest changing landscapes.
There is also a lot of bacterial activity, resulting in green and yellow streams of water running across the Norris Porcelain Basin.
