Morning Glory Pool

Morning Glory Pool is one of my favorite geysers in Yellowstone National Park. I first visited Yellowstone in 1967 while on a camping trip from New York to Alaska with my family. In 1985, I revisited the park and Morning Glory was still relatively blue and teal and clean compared to what it was 18 years earlier. The last time I saw this geyser was in 2012 and it was rapidly dying and had turned yellow/orange due to junk thrown into it by visitors; the debris clogs its vents and it is suffocating. I prefer to remember this gem in all its glory, before humans caused its demise. Unless humans around the globe change our attitudes about how critical it is to protect the Earth, we will not be able to save these unique and precious areas for the future. Hang out of direct sunlight or bright interior lights.
