    This pool of crystal blue water can reach temperatures of 148°F (64°C). The hot spring is fed by superheated water from below ground, which wells up and creates the beautiful ponds in Yellowstone. Mats of algae can be found around the water. These are the only organisms that can live in the extreme conditions of the springs.
