Biscuit Basin webcam view

Image from the webcam installed at Biscuit Basin in Yellowstone National Park.  The view is of Black Diamond Pool, where a hydrothermal explosion occurred on July 23, 2024 (many of the rocks behind and to the right of the pool were deposited during that event).  The background cliff is the Summit Lake rhyolite lava flow, which is about 111,000 years old.  The camera is a temporary deployment installed on a sloping and damaged boardwalk, which is why the view is somewhat tilted.  This image is from May 23, 2025, at 12:25 p.m. MDT.
