Daisy Geyser is one of the most famous, predictable geysers erupting every 2 to 3 hour for a period of 3 to 5 minutes erupt at an angle to the ground.
This is the outflow from Daisy Geyser covering a very large area. The colors of the flow are a rewsult of thermophile. An organism—a type of extremophile—that thrives at relatively high temperatures, between 41 and 106 ̊ and 252 ̊F. Many thermophiles are archaea, though some of them are bacteria and fungi. Thermophilic eubacteria are suggested to have been among the earliest bacteria. Thermophiles are found in various geothermally heated regions of the Earth, such as hot springs like those in Yellowstone National Park and deep sea hydrothermal vents, as well as decaying plant matter, such as peat bogs and compost. Thermophiles can survive at high temperatures, whereas other bacteria or archaea would be damaged and sometimes killed if exposed to the same temperatures.
