Mammoth Hot Springs Terraces

CAPTION:
The calcium carbonate of which these terraces are built deposits so rapidly from the lime laden hot water that the courses of the flowing water are constantly changing. Where the water ceases to flow, the plant life which give the terraces their beautiful coloring disappears leaving the deposit white and bare.
