Old Faithful Geysers


Yellowstone is an amazing national park and not even the thick snow prevented us from exploring its geysers. You can imagine geysers as small volcanoes that emit clouds and water and they are very very hot! Yellowstone contains 2/3 of the worlds geysers. Geez, that's a lot. You can imagine walking on top of a volcano crater that is over 40 sq miles when you're in Yellowstone National Park. Cool aint it?! What's even more cool is that in spite of thousands and thousands of years, Yellowstone remains and the Old Faithful Geyser remains. But who knows with global warming and our carelessness, nature might decide to go on strike.

A few more surprises were deers and this wondering bison! Bisons came very close to extinction and they have successfully survived under the shelters and protection of Yellowstone and Wind Cave (in South Dakota). One of the most miraculous comeback of all time, as they say...
Our world indeed is a very beautiful, and mystical place. A visit to the old faithful made me appreciate all the simpler and more natural things on earth. And we shouldnt be destroying them because the earth is our one and only home...
