Instructional Photo: Geothermal features of Yellowstone Nat'l Park

This is a photo I took in Yellowstone when I visited there in May, 2008. I would use this photo to introduce the idea of geothermal features. Specifically, I would discuss the unique characteristics of the geyser basins within this National Park. It would also be interesting to use the photo to discuss the importance of creating National Parks, and the advantages and disadvantages of their existence. Yellowstone was the first ever National Park, why did our country see it fit to protect in such a way?
