Subject:
Dragon's Mouth, Yellowstone National Park
Description:
Caption: "Dragons Mouth - Yellowstone Park," c. 1923. This hot spring originates deep underground. Rising gas and steam create pressure bubbles within the mud of the cavern. When they burst against the cave roof, they emit a growling, booming sound. Steam also drifts from the cavern entrance, creating the illusion of smoke from a dragon's mouth.
