NA. Yellowstone's thermal feature provide rare opportunities for wildlife to get relief
Yellowstone's thermal feature provide rare opportunities for wildlife to get relief from the stress of severe winter old. Many of Yellowstone's bison spend at least part of the winter in the shelter of thermal areas. One cold January morning these two bison bulls stood for several hours soaking up the heat from the steam rising from Chromatic Spring in the Upper Geyser Basin. The steam coated the nearby trees and parts of the bison with frost, but at times the steam would envelop the bison long enough to melt the frost and make them sparkle with tiny drops of water. The bison were very pasive and still, saving their energy for when they must leave this thermal oasis and search for food in the nearby heavy snow

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Tom Murphy, we are transported to the serene beauty of Yellowstone National Park's Upper Geyser Basin. Against a backdrop of freezing fog and frost-covered trees, two majestic bison bulls stand tall in front of Chromatic Spring, one of Yellowstone's renowned thermal features. As winter takes its toll on the park, these bison find solace and relief from the harsh conditions within the warmth emitted by the steaming spring. For several hours on a cold January morning, they soak up every ounce of heat that rises from the earth beneath them. The steam envelops their massive bodies, coating them with delicate frost that glistens like diamonds in the soft light. But as moments pass and steam lingers around them longer, tiny droplets form on their fur, creating an enchanting spectacle - they sparkle with life amidst a frozen landscape. With great patience and stillness, these bison conserve their energy for when they must venture out into heavy snow to search for food. In this moment captured by Murphy's lens, we witness nature at its most vulnerable yet resilient state - where even amidst extreme conditions wildlife finds sanctuary in unexpected places. This remarkable image serves as a reminder of both the fragility and strength inherent in our natural world; it is an ode to survival against all odds within Yellowstone's breathtaking wilderness.
