One of its main attractions is the Morning Glory Pool, which is a hot spring. It was named after the morning glory flower that it looks like. The pool was known for its vibrant blue colour. But today, it has a different colour because of the trash and coins humans have thrown inside it. The trash reduced the heat of the pool and caused bacteria to grow on its edges, which created yellow and orange rings around the now green water. |
