The geyser’s formation is a result of a well drilling accident back in the 1960’s. The well may have somewhat been left improperly capped, which then made dissolved minerals to rise and contribute to the growing formation of what people now see. But we need to thank the thermophilic algae, which contribute to the beauty of the mound.

#3. Grand Prismatic Spring, Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming

You may think that this rainbow hot spring is enhanced with photo editing apps, but science actually has played a big role in giving its beautiful colors. There are different organisms found in the hot spring, but mostly it contains a type of cyanobacteria called Synechococcus, according to the Smithsonian.

Call it photoshopped, but this rainbow river actually exists. This central Colombian beauty is mostly red in color due to the Themacarenia clavigera plant found in the river. But thanks to black rocks, blue water, yellow sand and green algae this river produces a dramatic rainbow effect.

This harsh environment is noted for its bright green and yellow colors due to deposits of salt and sulphur.

No, it’s not just ordinary blue in color. The waters are deep turquoise in color and it’s all due to high levels of magnesium and calcium carbonate.
