Hot Creek, Long Valley Caldera, California.

By California Volcano Observatory
A sweeping view looks out over a clear blue hot spring and a creek bordered by bright green grass. In the background, rocky cliffs are scattered with sagebrush and pine trees. In the distance, bare, pointed mountains rise high into the air. The spring in the foreground is bordered by bleached white soil and steam rises from its surface.
