00:00Morning Glory Pool is a mesmerizing hot spring in the Yellowstone, Upper Geyser in the basin

00:06of the United States, because of its striking resemblance to the flower after which it was

00:11named.

00:12Morning Glory Pool was a popular hangout for early tourists.

00:16The Morning Glory Pool has occasionally erupted as a geyser, usually in response to an earthquake

00:22or other surrounding seismic activity.

00:25Thermofoils that are yellow and colorless flourish in the warmest water.

00:29Thermofoils that are orange, brown, and green flourish in the colder waters.

00:34Perhaps the water is cooling due to the natural processes.

00:38Warmer temperatures promote the growth of bacteria with orange and yellow hues.

00:43The microorganisms that live in the water give the pool its unique tint.

00:48Morning Glory Pool has an average pH of 7.6 and average conductivity of 2,098.

00:55And a temperature of 159.3 Fahrenheit.

00:59The Morning Glory Pool is about 23 feet deep, the most prevalent hydrothermal feature in

01:05Yellowstone's hot springs.

01:07There are no restrictions in their plumbing.

01:09When superheated water reaches the surface, it cools, sinks, and is replenished with hotter

01:14water from below.

01:16Water cannot get hot enough to cause an eruption because of this circulation.

01:21Although trillions of thermofoils are too small to view with the human eye, they are

01:26clustered together to form color masses.

01:29They are fed with energy and chemical building materials.

01:32A wide range of microbial mats with various hues and textures can be found in Yellowstone.

01:39Many thermophilic species cannot survive in the hotter water temperature.

01:44And the way the water scatters and absorbs light gives the appearance of a clear blue

01:49color in the hot spring.

01:51Cooler pools can have more colors because bacteria can develop there, while hotter pools

01:57are typically a vivid blue.

01:59Tourists have thrown debris into some of the entryways, clogging them and limiting the

02:04hot water flow, which has changed the pool's overall appearance.

02:08For many decades, people tossed trash, coins, and rocks into the frequent bases.

02:14The debris that had gathered at the foot of the vent blocked the flow of hot water

02:19into the pool.

02:20In the 1970s, rangers tried to remove as much rubbish as they could from the hot spring,

02:26while partially draining it out of worry for the effects of humans on morning glory colors.

02:32However, they were unable to stop the alteration.

02:35The outcomes of park officials' multiple attempts to intentionally trigger eruptions

02:41in order to empty the tabless pool and open clogged entryways have been inconsistent.

02:47The park's staff put up an interruptive sign near the pool that talks about the harm that

02:53ignorance and vandalism can do, and it implies the morning glory is turning into a faded

03:00glory.
