Yellowstone National Park

Mud Pots and holes

 

What's the fun in watching mud? Plenty, when the mud sets up a bubbling display of sub-terranean heat.
Aside from the better-known geyser areas are several regions where you can see active mud-pots of various colours and styles of activity. Less dramatic than their big brothers, they are still a fascinating sight... and they are also to be treated with respect and fear.
Some pools can scacely be seen behind their veil of steam, but when the steam clears they may be full of colour.
