Album caption and index card: Mount Everts, as viewed toward the northeast from south of Mammoth Hot Springs. The mountain, about 1,500 feet above the plain is formed by gently tilted sedimentary rocks of Cretaceous age, chiefly sandstone and shale of the Frontier Formation, Cody, and Everts Formations.

Yellowstone National Park (YNP; Wyoming, Montana, and Idaho, USA) contains more than 10,000 hydrothermal features, several lakes, and four major watersheds. For more than 140 years, researchers at the U.S. Geological Survey and other scientific institutions have investigated the chemical compositions of hot springs, geysers, fumaroles, mud pots, streams, rivers, and lakes in YNP and surrounding areas. Water chemistry studies have revealed a range of compositions including waters with pH values ranging from about 1 to 10, surface temperatures from ambient to superheated values of 95°C, and elevated concentrations of silica, lithium, boron, fluoride, mercury, and arsenic. Hydrogeochemical data from YNP research have...

Information with digital image: This view of the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone is from below Lower Falls, looking downstream. The spendid yellow-brown walls of the canyon consist predominantly of rhyolite tuff and lava (Sulfer Creek and Canyon flow, respectively), which erupted nearly 500,000 years ago. Both units have been intensely altered by hydrothermal fluids. USGS photograph by Steven R. Brantley.

Active thermal areas in Yellowstone National Park provide insight into a variety of hydrothermal processes occurring at depth, such as water-rock interactions, the formation of alteration minerals, and microbial (thermophile) metabolism in extreme environments. Research drill hole Y-7 (44°29'8.74", -110°51'7.67") is one of 13 holes completed by the U.S. Geological Survey in 1967 and 1968 at selected sites in hot spring and geyser areas of the park (White and others, 1975). The holes were drilled with a goal of obtaining physical and chemical data on the shallow part of the hydrothermal system. Drill hole Y-7 is located at the northern end of the Biscuit Basin parking lot, in the northern part of the Upper Geyser...
