October 13, 2007 Dansk tekst til venstre English text on the right Dagens baghave: Backyard of the Day: Yellowstone National Park, Yellowstone, Teton County, Wyoming Yellowstone National Park is located north of Grand Teton National Park in Teton County, Wyoming.   Vi kørte fra Grand Teton National Park nordpå til vores campingplads i Yellowstone i aftens, og vågnede her i morges... i helvedes-ildens og svovlens fantastisk smukke land. Dagen startede med sne, men det varede ikke ret længe, inden solen tittede frem. We drove from Grand Teton National Park north to our campground in Yellowstone last night, and awoke here this morning... in the unbelievably beautiful land of hellfire and brimstone. The day started off with snow, but it wasn't long before the sun came out.     Yellowstone National Park er jordens største geo-termale område, og blev i 1872 gjort til verdens første nationalpark. Her er tusindvis af geysere, varme kilder, damphuller og kogende mudderpøler. Yellowstone National Park is the earth's largest geo-thermal area, and in 1872 it became the world's first national park. Here are thousands of geysers, hot springs, fumaroles, and boiling mudpots.     Farverne i de varme kilder skyldes de forskellige mikroorganismer, der lever i de forskellige vandtemperaturer. Blåt vand har meget få organismer, mens røde, grønne og gule kilder er farvet af dem. The colors in the hot springs are caused by the various microorganisms that live in the different water temperatures. Blue water has very few organisms, while red, green, and yellow springs take their color from them.

West Thumb Geyser Basin     Abyss Pool     Lake Yellowstone Under Lake Yellowstone ligger en vulkan, der dannede geyser-bassinet under et vulkanudbrud for over hundrede tusind år siden. Under Lake Yellowstone lies a volcano, which formed this geyser basin during an eruption more than a hundred thousand years ago.     Fishing Cone Vandet i Fishing Cone er 93° C, og i 1870erne blev stedet kendt for, at fiskere kunne fange sig en ørred, og så vende sig om og koge den i Fishing Cone, uden så meget som at tage den af krogen først. The water in Fishing Cone is 199° F, and in the 1870s the place became known for fishermen being able to catch a trout, and then turn around and boil it in Fishing Cone without even taking it off the hook.     Lakeside Spring

Lakeshore Geyser Lakeshore Geyser har ikke været i udbrud siden 1970, bortset fra små overkogninger ind imellem. Lakeshore Geyser has not erupted since 1970, aside from minor boil-overs from time to time.

Seismograph Pool     "Malingbøtterne" ~ "The Paintpots"     Muddervulkan ~ Mud Vulcano I 1870 gik denne vulkan i udbrud og dækkede den omkringliggende nåleskov i mudder. Ved samme lejlighed sprængte vulkanen sig selv i stykker, og er nu blot et hul fyldt med kogende mudder. In 1870 this volcano erupted, covering the surrounding pine forest in mud. On that same occasion the volcano blew itself to pieces, so that today it is nothing more than a big hole full of boiling mud.

Ung kronhjort der græsser ved vejen ~ Young elk grazing at the roadside         Flere bisonokser ~ More bison

Kronhjorte ~ Elk         Før udbrud ~ Old Faithful ~ Before erupting Old Faithful er verdens mest kendte geyser, og en af de mest pålidelige. Old Faithful is the world's most well-known geyser and one of the most reliable.   I udbrud ~ Erupting   Geyseren damper efter udbrudet ~ Steaming after eruption
