Hot tub life

Cyanobacteria edition 🔥😎

With their boiling hot water, these springs may seem like the most hostile thing to live in but there are actually bacteria inside these basins that thrive extremely well!

“In fact, Cyanobacteria were responsible for the oxygenation of our atmosphere. They were the first photosynthesizers, converting light energy into oxygen more than 2.4 billion years ago. Without Bacteria, in particular Cyanobacteria, humans would not be here.”

Btw Happy Birthday to the Yellowstone National Park!!
