Closeup view of hydrothermal feature that formed near Nymph Lake, Yellowstone National Park, in August 2024

August 2024 (approx.)

Detailed Description

Looking southeast at the hydrothermal feature that formed in August 2024 just north of Nymph Lake. Steam is emanating from a vent that is partially full of water to create the frying pan feature nestled in the newly formed vent. A thin grey layer of silica mud covers the vent area.  Photo by Jefferson Hungerford, Yellowstone National Park, August 2024.
