Yellowstone National Park has seldom failed to mesmerize those who are fortunate to witness its scenic beauty. Early adventurers were awestruck by its fascinating features, the most awe-inspiring among them being the Park’s stunning geysers and hot springs, which inspired an early adventurer to dub the park as "the place where hell bubbles up".

Blessed with an abundance of geothermal wonders - Old Faithful being among the most famous of these - the park remains one of the world’s most active volcanic areas.

Continued reports of pools of bubbling mud and amazing geysers shooting skywards finally convinced the government in Washington to explore the area that we now recognize as the Yellowstone National Park. It wasn’t until 1871, however, that the first expedition led by Ferdinand Hayden set out to verify fur trappers’ tales. Among the explorers were artist Thomas Moran and photographer William H. Jackson. Together, Moran and Jackson brought back sufficient pictorial proof of the grandeur of the place to convince Congress to award it the status of a National Park.

Only a year later, President Ulysses S. Grant signed a law declaring that Yellowstone would forever be "dedicated and set apart as a public park or pleasuring ground for the benefit and enjoyment of the people."

EDITORIAL REVIEW:

"Perhaps the most astonishing features of Yellowstone national Park are its geysers and hot springs. This CD captures the awesome splendor of these marvels of nature in an absorbing manner and affords a fabulous ringside view of nature at its best.

Few collections of photographs do justice to the charm of Yellowstone as the one you will see in this set of CDs. You can almost hear the swoosh of gushing geysers and the hissing of steam as you examine the graphic images of these geothermal displays.

Characterized by insightful photography and a comprehensive coverage of park’s ‘hot spots’, the images in this set of CDs are arranged in convenient sections under various headings, making it easy to study their contents.

I doubt I shall ever tire of revisiting Yellowstone’s spectacular geothermic wonders that are captured in such an enchanting manner on this set of CDs, and urge anybody who claims to be a lover of nature, to grab his or her copy of this CD today!"
