| The Grand Prismatic Spring in Yellowstone National park is a striking example of thermophiles at work. Red and green bacteria exist all around the hotspring and produce the vivid colors noticed here. The high heat in their environment is what classifies them as extremophiles and these bacteria thrive in the hot temperatures where no other organisms exist. |
