It’s almost hard to believe things like this exist naturally. The Grand Prismatic Spring, located in Wyoming’s Yellowstone National Park is the largest hot spring in the United States, and the third largest in the world. With an average temperature of 160°F, the spring discharges about 560 gallons of water per minute. Pigmented bacteria and microbial mats grow around the edge of the water, causing the stunning display of colors seen in the picture. Sometimes nature makes for the best art.
