Coring platform on the shore of Goose Lake, Lower Geyser Basin, Yellowstone National Park, in 2018

Detailed Description

Coring platform assembled on the shore of Goose Lake, in Lower Geyser Basin, Yellowstone National Park, in 2018. Today, the nearest thermal features are 400 meters (about 1300 feet) away from Goose Lake, but thousands of years ago Goose Lake itself showed indications of being thermally active!. Steam from Midway Geyser Basin can be seen in the distance. Photo by Nickolas Kichas, 2018.
