UM-Bot Posted March 15, 2015 #1 Share Posted March 15, 2015 The famous Morning Glory hot spring pool has turned green due to visitors throwing things in to it. One of Yellowstone's most impressive natural wonders, the crystal blue waters of the spring have been attracting visitors for decades.

Sundew Posted March 15, 2015 #5 Share Posted March 15, 2015 Thermal Spring? You could throw in a couple of offenders and make soup, and then put a photo display by the trail leading in, that should stop it! But seriously, this kind of thing ruins both nature and man made attractions world wide. I remember going to Stonehenge and walking among the stones, but thanks to vandalism they are pretty much off limits for the most part and all you can do now is walk around them. A few knuckleheads ruin things for everyone. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucas Cooper Merrin Posted March 15, 2015 #7 Share Posted March 15, 2015 it really makes me question humanity after reading things like this! Have people no respect or even common sense anymore? Disrespectful,lazy,dirty,naive humans at their best! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buzz_Light_Year Posted March 15, 2015 #8 Share Posted March 15, 2015 The Morning Glory Hot Spring Pool is no longer available for viewing due to tourist Pollution Please inquire at the Ranger Station for other sites that may be included in the future if this trend continues. Thank You for your cooperation. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talion78 Posted March 15, 2015 #9 Share Posted March 15, 2015 We try and shoot poachers killing endangered species. Why can't we shoot a**holes like the people ruining these things. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torviking Posted March 15, 2015 #10 Share Posted March 15, 2015 It's just pure green/ blue algae. Poisonous to some species. End of story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ancient astronaut Posted March 16, 2015 #11 Share Posted March 16, 2015 It's just pure green/ blue algae. Poisonous to some species. End of story. It's called pollution, end of story. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+DieChecker Posted March 16, 2015 #12 Share Posted March 16, 2015 I kind of like the rings of colors. That happens naturally in other areas of the park. It's bad to throw stuff in, but it is not the algae's fault. It lives there regardless, just in smaller amounts around the edges when the water is hotter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moon tide Posted March 16, 2015 #13 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Very shameful. On behalf of humanity Morning Glory, I apologize. Many, many of us love you. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Socio Posted March 16, 2015 #14 Share Posted March 16, 2015 I wonder if they could hire a diver to remove the debris? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Smoke aLot Posted March 16, 2015 #15 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Some people should just stay on concrete forever, enjoy in dirty city and your dirty apartments but leave nature please, it will be fine without you. If you cant respect it just dont come. Especially when it is one of most important national sites. But as time goes on scenes like this are becoming 'normal' around the world, unfortunately. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paperdyer Posted March 16, 2015 #16 Share Posted March 16, 2015 I wonder if they could hire a diver to remove the debris? It probably be done at a huge cost. You'd still have the algae to contend with. Nothing a little HTH can't take care of. Seriously, this is horrible. People are stupid. I have a saying I use on subjects like this - I hate people. I like persons, but hate people. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michelle Posted March 16, 2015 #17 Share Posted March 16, 2015 I wonder if they could hire a diver to remove the debris? It's too hot to dive at all. Anything above about 110F is extremely dangerous unless you're planning dinner. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sundew Posted March 16, 2015 #18 Share Posted March 16, 2015 I wonder if they could hire a diver to remove the debris? Some of the waters of Yellowstone are near boiling, hence my previous tongue-in-cheek comment about "making soup" out of the offenders. The only "diving" could possibly be done by robotic vehicles, if they could handle the high temperature. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Wearer of Hats Posted March 16, 2015 #19 Share Posted March 16, 2015 It's just pure green/ blue algae. Poisonous to some species. End of story. Blue-Green Algae is red. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+DieChecker Posted March 16, 2015 #20 Share Posted March 16, 2015 (edited) There's a sign there that says what they do... Every year park personnel remove hundreds of rocks, coins and other objects from Morning Glory Pool. Looks like they suck stuff out with "sunken ship treasure vacuum" style hoses.

Ashotep Posted March 17, 2015 #21 Share Posted March 17, 2015 People are morons and many don't care about the environment. Bet if you went to their house and threw crap at them they would then care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
