Geothermal Hotspring At Edge Of Lake Yellowstone Stock Photo

A geothermal hotspring on a volcanic vent dominates the bottom third of the frame and contrasts with the frozen lake and cloud mottled blue sky. The spring in the foreground also provides scale and a great sense of depth, highlighting the distance to the mountains on the far side of the lake. This geothermal feature also hints at potential alternate sources of energy (geothermal energy). Hotsprings and vistas like this are a large attraction for tourists who visit Yellowstone National Park.
