Yellowstone National Park Wyoming. Mammoth Hot Springs are a must-see feature of Yellowstone National Park in part because they’re so different from other thermal areas in the area. This is largely because limestone is a relatively soft type of rock, allowing the travertine formations to grow much faster than other sinter formations. It has been described as looking like a cave turned inside out.

Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming, USA: the travertine pools of Palette Spring in Mammoth Hot Springs, Yellowstone National Park, are formed by hot, calcium-rich water emerging from underground sources. As the water cools and releases carbon dioxide at the surface, calcium carbonate precipitates, building terraces and rimstone pools. These pools display striking colors—white, yellow, and orange—caused by thermophilic microorganisms and mineral deposits. Constant fluctuations in water flow, temperature, and chemistry reshape the formations over time.

In 1872, Yellowstone became the first national park for all to enjoy the unique hydrothermal and geologic features. Within Yellowstone National Park visitors have opportunities to observe wildlife in an intact ecosystem, explore geothermal areas that contain about half the world’s active geysers, and view geologic wonders.

Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming, USA: Palette Spring, located in the Mammoth Hot Springs area of Yellowstone National Park, is a prominent travertine terrace formed by hot water emerging from the Mammoth thermal system. As the mineral-rich water cools at the surface, it deposits calcium carbonate, creating the spring’s characteristic cascading formations and white to orange coloration. The vivid hues result from thermophilic microorganisms and mineral oxidation. Palette Spring is part of the dynamic hydrothermal network on the northern edge of the Yellowstone Caldera, where constant changes in water flow and temperature reshape the terraces over time.

Rhyolite is a type of extrusive igneous rock characterised by its light color, high silica content, and fine-grained texture. It forms from the rapid cooling of magma on the Earth's surface and is often associated with volcanic eruptions. Rhyolite is rich in silica (SiO₂), typically containing more than 70% silica. It is composed mainly of quartz and feldspar, with minerals like biotite, hornblende, and pumice often present.

Les Orgues d'Ille-sur-Tet are geological formations formed from sand and clay and have been shaped over time by erosion. They consist of tall pillars of rock which have been eroded into wonderful 'organ-pipe like' shapes that stand up to 12 meters high.

Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming, USA: Liberty Cap, a prominent dormant hot spring cone in the Lower Terraces of Mammoth Hot Springs, stands 37 feet (11 meters) tall and is formed from travertine deposits accumulated over centuries by a single, long-active vent that precipitated calcium carbonate from volcanically heated groundwater. The cone's shape resembles the liberty caps worn by French revolutionaries (Phrygian cap) and colonial rebels, earning it the name from the 1871 Hayden Geological Survey expedition.
