Image Of the Day caption:
Millions of visitors to Yellowstone National Park marvel at its colorful pools, bubbling springs, and steaming geysers and fumaroles. What they may not appreciate is that these features are just a small part of a larger-scale geothermally active system that extends under the entire northern half of Yellowstone Lake. WHOI scientist Rob Sohn is leading a multiyear expedition that used technology developed for the deep ocean to investigate the hidden fount of hydrothermal activity going on beneath the surface of Yellowstone Lake. The Hydrothermal Dynamics of Yellowstone Lake project is funded by the National Science Foundation.
