Description

Deadly affair.

Yellowstone's Grand Prismatic Spring is the largest hot spring in USA and third largest in the world.

The name was given as it contains most of the colors of rainbow i.e. Red, Orange, Blue, Yellow, Green which can be produced from dispersion of white light by an optical prism

The colors which range from Green to Red are produced from Microbial Mats and it depends on the ratio of chlorophyll to carotenoids and the level of temperature.

The blue color in the center is the color of the water and because of its depth and sterility, the effect is mostly visible in the center itself.
