Black Sand Basin - VIDEO TOUR (Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming)
Very close to Old Faithful and the Upper Geyser Basin. Worth a quick stop! Home of the hankerchief geyser, rainbow pool, emerald pool, sunset lake, opalescent pool, cliff geyser, spouter geyser and more!
Black Sand Basin, an isolated group of the Upper Geyser Basin, was originally named the Emerald Group by A.C. Peale in 1878. But turn of the century tourists began calling it Black Sand Basin because of the small fragments of black obsidian sand which cover portions of the basin.
Black Sand Basin contains a small collection of jewel-like geysers, and colorful hot springs. Emerald Pool is the most colorful and famous of these springs. It is a deep emerald green fringed by an outer ring of yellow and orange. Another colorful pool is Opalescent Pool. This recently formed pool inundated a stand of lodgepole pine, creating a stand of white skeletons amidst a rainbow-colored pool. An unusual geyser formed on the bank of Iron Creek. Cliff Geyser formed a rim or wall-like ridge of sinter around its crater from which it erupts 30 to 40 feet high.
The famous Handkerchief Pool was once the drawing attraction to Black Sand Basin. Turn-of-the-century tourists dropped their handkerchiefs into this small spring. Convection currents then whisked their laundry away where it would reappear again at the surface, freshly laundered.

The Scene at Black Sand Basin, Yellowstone National Park, United States
This is standing pretty much in the middle of Black Sand Basin. It's just a quick look around of the place. Black Sand Basin is located between Madison Junction and the Old Faithful area. Pretty close to the Old Faithful area actually.
Yellowstone National Park - Black Sand Basin
Yellowstone National Park is in the north-west of the United States, in the heart of the Rocky Mountains. Yellowstone was proclaimed a National Park in 1872, making it the oldest national park in the United States.
The park has more than ten thousand geysers and hot water springs.
In the area surrounding Old Faithful most of the warm springs and geysers of the park can be found. For a geyser you need water and heat, and of course an exhaust system. In Yellowstone all three factors are there. A hot stream flows just below the earth's crust.
This so-called magma heats up the rain and meltwater that seeps through, which is subsequently pressurised and forced back to the surface again. The result: hot springs, mud pools, steam and explosive geysers.
Emerald Pool , Rainbow Pool, Opalescent Pool ... the hot springs have the most fantastic colours. Among other things these colours are caused by sulphur, manganese, iron and all kinds of organisms. And Cliff Geyser is impressive, with water spouting up 15 to 40 feet.
Yellowstone is officially designated by UNESCO as World Heritage Site.

Yellowstone National Park | Old Faithful and Geyser Basin
Yellowstone National Park Old Faithful and Geyser Basin: Spend the day as we enjoy this beautiful area of the park. This is nature as art! Hot water and thin crust and an active volcanic area!
Make our day today! Give us a thumbs-up, SUBSCRIBE, COMMENT, and SHARE this video with a friend. Are we asking TOO much?
Spend the day with us as we thoroughly enjoy and explore Yellowstone National Park's Old Faithful, Upper Geyser Basin, Biscuit Basin and Black Sand Basin. You may not know that the majority of the world's active geysers are here. Only four other locations in the world - Russia (Kamchatka), Chile, New Zealand and Iceland - have large concentrations of geysers. And surprisingly, park rangers can fairly accurately forecast the eruptions of five geysers located here so ask a ranger for the schedule.
The Upper Geyser Basin is a fascinating area and a highlight of Yellowstone but it takes time to see. If you don’t have the time or inclination to wait and see the geysers here then skip the Upper Geyser Basin. Watch Old Faithful erupt, get into your car and drive north to the Lower Geyser Basin and the Fountain Paint Pots. The Fountain Paint Pots Trail is an easy 1/2 mile trail that passes good examples of most of the types of thermal features found in Yellowstone including some geysers that are almost always in eruption. You’ll get more out of a short tour of the Fountain Paint Pots than the Upper Geyser Basin.
Whatever you do, don’t rush through the Upper Geyser Basin. Don’t just walk down to the over-rated Morning Glory Pool and walk back. Morning Glory Pool is well-worth seeing, but there is much more to the Upper Geyser Basin.
If you have the time and inclination to see the Upper Geyser Basin you won’t be disappointed. Take your time and wait for some of the geysers to erupt. Try to take a ranger led walk. Explore the basin leisurely. There is a lot to see in the Upper Geyser Basin, but it simply takes adequate time.

Porcelain Basin in Yellowstone National Park
Porcelain Basin is part of the Norris Geyser Basin. I am particularly fascinated by the thermophilic green algae that live in a temperature range of 100-133 degrees F in the East Fork of Tantalus Creek. Cyanidium is one of the algae. Music Opus 4 by Dexter Britain, dexterbritain.com
West Thumb Geyser Basin - Yellowstone National Park
Das West-Thumb-Geysir-Becken ist das größte Geysir-Becken am Ufer des Yellowstone Lakes im Yellowstone-Nationalpark. Zum West-Thumb-Geysir-Becken zählt auch das Potts-Becken im Norden.
Die Hitze-Quelle der hydrothermalen Objekte dieses Gebietes liegt mit etwa 3000 m Tiefe relativ nahe der Erdoberfläche. Das Becken wurde durch einen Ausbruch des Yellowstone-Vulkans vor etwa 125.000-200.000 Jahren geformt. Später füllte sich die entstandene Caldera mit Wasser und dehnte so den Yellowstone Lake aus. Das West-Thumb-Becken ist etwa so groß wie der Crater Lake in Oregon, jedoch wesentlich kleiner als die Yellowstone-Caldera, die beim Vulkan-Ausbruch vor 600.000 Jahren an gleicher Stelle entstanden ist. Es ist somit eine Caldera in einer größeren Caldera.
The West Thumb Geyser Basin, including Potts Basin to the north, is unique in that it is the largest geyser basin on the shores of Yellowstone Lake. The heat source of the thermal features in this location is thought to be relatively close to the surface, only 10,000 feet down! The West Thumb of Yellowstone Lake was formed by a large volcanic explosion that occurred approximately 150,000 years ago (125,000-200,000). The resulting collapsed volcano, called a caldera (boiling pot or caldron), later filled with water forming an extension of Yellowstone Lake. The West Thumb is about the same size as another famous volcanic caldera, Crater Lake in Oregon, but much smaller than the great Yellowstone caldera which formed 600,000 years ago. It is interesting to note that West Thumb is a caldera within a caldera.
Yellowstone National Park - Fairy Falls Trail (2018)
Yellowstone National Park is an American national park located in Wyoming, Montana, and Idaho. It was established by the U.S. Congress and signed into law by President Ulysses S. Grant on March 1, 1872. Yellowstone was the first national park in the U.S. and is also widely held to be the first national park in the world. The park is known for its wildlife and its many geothermal features, especially Old Faithful geyser, one of its most popular features. It has many types of ecosystems, but the subalpine forest is the most abundant. It is part of the South Central Rockies forests ecoregion.
Native Americans have lived in the Yellowstone region for at least 11,000 years. Aside from visits by mountain men during the early-to-mid-19th century, organized exploration did not begin until the late 1860s. Management and control of the park originally fell under the jurisdiction of the Secretary of the Interior, the first being Columbus Delano. However, the U.S. Army was subsequently commissioned to oversee management of Yellowstone for a 30-year period between 1886 and 1916. In 1917, administration of the park was transferred to the National Park Service, which had been created the previous year. Hundreds of structures have been built and are protected for their architectural and historical significance, and researchers have examined more than a thousand archaeological sites.
Yellowstone National Park spans an area of 3,468.4 square miles (8,983 km2), comprising lakes, canyons, rivers and mountain ranges. Yellowstone Lake is one of the largest high-elevation lakes in North America and is centered over the Yellowstone Caldera, the largest supervolcano on the continent. The caldera is considered an active volcano. It has erupted with tremendous force several times in the last two million years. Half of the world's geysers and hydrothermal features are in Yellowstone, fueled by this ongoing volcanism. Lava flows and rocks from volcanic eruptions cover most of the land area of Yellowstone. The park is the centerpiece of the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, the largest remaining nearly-intact ecosystem in the Earth's northern temperate zone. In 1978, Yellowstone was named a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
