Porcelain Landscape
The sweeping view before you is named for its porcelain-like appearance - smooth sinter deposited by centuries of thermal activity, continually glazed by minerals, hot water, and living microorganisms called thermophiles.Norris Note · Like most geyser basins, Norris is lower in elevation than the surrounding terrain - located in a bowl or basin. · Iron is common here - one cause of rust color in the basin. · Although many Yellowstone thermal features are alkaline, numerous geysers and hot springs at Norris Geyser Basin are acidic.| HM Number | HM1NTC |
