Brilliant Pool, Hot spring in Yellowstone region, Teton County, US.
The Brilliant Pool features clear blue water due to specific mineral content and elevated temperatures within the Yellowstone geothermal environment.
The geological formation emerged from intense volcanic processes that shaped the Yellowstone region thousands of years ago, creating numerous thermal features.
Native American tribes of the region incorporated the surrounding thermal springs into their traditions for generations, using them for ceremonies and daily needs.
Visitors must maintain safe distances from the hot spring edges and follow designated boardwalk paths to prevent accidents near the unpredictable thermal features.
The pool displays different shades of blue throughout the day as sunlight interacts with minerals and heat-loving bacteria in the water.
