  • A bull elk stands on a hill next to the Roosevelt Arch, which marked the first major entrance into Yellowstone National Park. The arch, located in Gardiner, Montana, is inscribed with the words, "For the benefit and enjoyment of the people," a quote from the Organic Act of 1872, which created Yellowstone, the first national park. The arch was named for President Theodore Roosevelt who was visiting the park during the construction of the arch; he asked to place its cornerstone.

  • A variety of thermophiles, which are microorganisms that thrive in heat, are responsible for the colors in the Grand Prismatic Spring, located in the Midway Geyser Basin area of Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming. The yellow-green color comes from the thermophilic cyanobacteria Synechococcus, which is found in the hottest water of the spring (up to 161°F or 72°C). Phormidium, which is orange, is found in the spring's middle temperatures (113-140°F or 45-60°C). Calothrix, which is brown or black, is found in the coolest temperatures, although not lower than 86°F or 30°C. The terraces are the result of minerals that solidify in water that spills out of the spring.
