Norris Geyser Basin is the the hottest geyser basin in Yellowstone. The basin is comprised of two distinct sections: The Back Basin is in a forest setting (at least it was before the 1988 fires, now its more of a regenerating forest setting). It contains geysers and hot springs tucked among the trees. The Porcelain Basin is characterized by a lack of vegetation. No plants can live in thr hot, acidic, water emitted from the numerous thermal features in the basin. Porcelain Basin presents a beautiful but desolate visage which is unlike any of the other geyser basins in Yellowstone.

OK, I will admit, I don't even know what this is but it looks like some kind of energy source that has not been hooked up yet, hence the name.

I'm also wondering WHY we have these rusty old fittings on a brand new beautiful builiding that is in the final stages of construction. Just curious about that one.
