Porcelain Basin spans about one square mile and is renowned for its otherworldly, stark white landscape created by siliceous sinter deposits. It is one of the most active geothermal areas in the park, featuring numerous geysers, hot springs, and fumaroles, with temperatures often exceeding 200°F (93°C). Its colours are caused by thermophilic (heat-loving) microorganisms including various types of bacteria and algae. Cyanobacteria, for instance, contribute blues and greens, while different species of archaea and bacteria create reds, yellows, and oranges. The colors are also influenced by the mineral content of the water, such as iron, sulfur, and silica, which can form colorful mineral deposits and runoff channels.
