ExhibitPlus Red Rock Fumarole

A fumarole is simply a hole in the ground through which steam, hot air or other gasses escapes to the surface. There are several thousand of them within the boundaries of Yellowstone National Park.

There are often rocks of very interesting colors surrounding fumaroles; the colors may be formed by mineral deposits or microbial activity.
