Description

Original Fine Art Photography by Donna Kennedy...

Turquoise Pool in Yellowstone National Park was named in 1878 by the Hayden Expedition for its milky, white bottom and gem-like, blue-colored water. Suspended mineral particles in the water also add an opalescent iridescence. Turquoise has no apparent overflow channel, instead water drains through seepage. There is an underground connection with Excelsior Geyser. When Excelsior was active, Turquoise lowered nearly ten feet and took nearly a year to recover. In June and July purple fringed gentians are common and bloom on the barren ground surrounding this pool. Temperatures are 142-160F and dimensions are 100x110 feet.
