The Science Behind Yellowstone's Rainbow Hot Spring


"Don't adjust your color settings—the Grand Prismatic Spring really is rainbow colored, following the spectrum of white light through a prism (red to blue). The spring was first officially described, and named, by the Hayden Expedition in 1871, which was the first federally-funded exploration of what became Yellowstone."
