Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Sapphire Pool, Sapphire Group, Biscuit Basin, far-northwestern Upper Geyser Basin, Yellowstone Hotspot, northwestern Wyoming, USA on 29 August 2011.
Before the August 1959 Hebgen Lake Earthquake, Sapphire Pool was surrounded by abundant, relatively large geyserite nodules that resembled dinner rolls or biscuits. These were destroyed by explosive geyser eruptions at Sapphire Pool that occurred after the 1959 earthquake. The biscuit-like subrounded nodules of geyserite (a.k.a. siliceous sinter) shown above are along the margin of present-day Sapphire Pool. |
