Yellowstone National Park, Part1 - Old Faithful, Photo-Scenery

Yellowstone, which was set aside as a national park in 1872 is the oldest national park in the world. It is known for its many geothermal features, especially Old Faithful Geyser which erupts aproximately every 90 minutes. Yellowstone Lake is one of the largest high-altitude lakes in the US 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 and it is unknown if and when it will erupt again. This part contains the southwestern part of the park which contains less mountains but the most geothermal features. The geyser basins are clearly visible from the air as white-shaded areas. The scenery covers 3.500 sq km in 4.7m/pix resolution. To explore the scenery depart from West Yellowstone (KWYS), which lays immediately north of this package and head south.
