Emerald Pool

Yellowstone has more geological features that any where else in the world. A great deal of the park is on top of the Yellowstone Caldera. This is a hot spot with molten rock rises toward the surface. This is one of the things that makes Yellowstone such a wondrous place. The emerald pool is one of the geological features that is found in the Black Sand Basin which is near Old Faithful.

Yellowstone is such a wondrous place to visit. My husband and I honeymooned there a lifetime ago and I still remember the wonder of the geological sites! Back then Old Faithful was still faithful to her schedule.
