The Grand Prismatic Spring is the largest hot spring in the Yellowstone National Park and in the United States, and the third largest in the world. It is located in the Midway Geyser Basin.
Grand Prismatic Spring was noted by geologists working in the Hayden Geological Survey of 1871, and named by them for its striking coloration. Its colors include blue, green, yellow, orange, gold, red and brown, and recall the rainbow disperson of white light by an optical prism. |

Crested Pool is a 42 feet deep hot spring in the Upper Geyser Basin in Yellowstone National Park. It is named for the "crest" which surrounds the pool. Although it is considered a spring, Crested Pool sometimes erupts like a geyser.

Chromatic Spring is located in the Upper Geyser Basin of Yellowstone National Park. It is connected to the nearby Beauty Pool. During periodic energy shifts the level of one spring descends while the other rises and overflows. The time interval between shifts has ranged from a few weeks to several years.

Emerald Spring is located in Norris Geyser Basin of Yellowstone National Park. The spring gets its name from the emerald green color of the water created by sunlight filtering through the water, giving the light a blue color, and reflecting off the yellow sulphur creating the green hue.
