Here you see a green algal mat in a stream that is lower than 70C on the left converging with a high temperature spring on the right that is above 75C. When the two streams touch, the green immediately stops because photosynthesis is inhibited. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a3bdbef1f318dc81f68c107/1514952752724-KT0SPB278UDGON2PNHGC/IMG_6627.JPG Dr. Luke McKay - Norris Geyser Basin 2017 https://www.drlukemckay.com/tmumontana daily 0.75 2018-01-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a3bdbef1f318dc81f68c107/1515531086307-CH4SGJS8PFV7Y296V9KA/IMG_6908.JPG Dr. Luke McKay - VICE documentary Montana 2017 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a3bdbef1f318dc81f68c107/1514763359964-B34HTZ32NK9HA8RMAXS7/3Y2A9988.jpg Dr. Luke McKay - VICE documentary Montana 2017 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a3bdbef1f318dc81f68c107/1514765009464-9YPPLVE08RFBAT5QUQO3/IMG_0610.JPG Dr. Luke McKay - VICE documentary Montana 2017 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a3bdbef1f318dc81f68c107/1514765115256-MYRAM366DXFULSUC81BJ/IMG_6890.JPG Dr. Luke McKay - VICE documentary Montana 2017 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a3bdbef1f318dc81f68c107/1514765430463-I371H70MZLLZXSJLBMD7/IMG_6899.JPG Dr. Luke McKay - VICE documentary Montana 2017 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a3bdbef1f318dc81f68c107/1514765203469-EWJ4WW4DUIU1RQPGZCYZ/3Y2A0054.jpg Dr. Luke McKay - VICE documentary Montana 2017 Photo by Michael James Murray https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a3bdbef1f318dc81f68c107/1514765044387-48UMNOP3GMIAW5DH5JPQ/IMG_0615.JPG Dr. Luke McKay - VICE documentary Montana 2017 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a3bdbef1f318dc81f68c107/1514765276629-UQPUR7D3A4YW3AL1U8Q3/IMG_6909.JPG Dr. Luke McKay - VICE documentary Montana 2017 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a3bdbef1f318dc81f68c107/1514765151136-4VB2FX6PRTHD8IQ94KL5/IMG_6896.JPG Dr. Luke McKay - VICE documentary Montana 2017 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a3bdbef1f318dc81f68c107/1514765380539-4IIR3TGSBTTY9NSFDPA5/IMG_6870.JPG Dr. Luke McKay - VICE documentary Montana 2017 https://www.drlukemckay.com/press daily 0.75 2026-02-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a3bdbef1f318dc81f68c107/1626215513320-OD0RSKI0T2NPSGWC6OAX/42292558454_4e4915c1fb_o.jpg OUTREACH https://www.drlukemckay.com/page-1 daily 0.75 2018-01-25
