Emerald Spring, Hot spring in Norris Geyser Basin, Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming, United States.
The waters of Emerald Spring display deep green and blue tones due to minerals and thermophilic microorganisms living in its heated depths.
Emerald Spring stands within Yellowstone National Park, which gained protected status in 1872 as the first designated national park in the United States.
Native American tribes recognized the therapeutic properties of Wyoming's thermal waters, establishing sacred connections to these natural geothermal features.
Visitors can access Emerald Spring through established boardwalks in the Norris Geyser Basin, following park guidelines to maintain a safe distance from thermal features.
The spring's temperature variations influence its color patterns throughout the year, creating different mineral deposits and supporting diverse microbial communities.
