Discovery of a New Hydrothermal Feature in Roadside Springs In August 2024, a scientist observed an unfamiliar plume of steam rising from the Roadside Springs region of Yellowstone—an area known to lie above an extensive hydrothermal zone. This unexpected sight triggered a closer examination, revealing a newly formed vent with surface temperatures measured at 77°C (171°F). 黃石國家公園內發現了一個新開放的火山口，它噴出濃濃的蒸汽，促使科學家調查其與這 座超級火山複雜的熱液系統的潛在聯繫。 路邊泉發現新的熱液特徵 2024 年 8 月，一位科學家觀察到一股不熟悉的蒸汽羽流從黃石公園的路邊泉地區升起— —該地區已知位於廣闊的熱液區之上。這意外景象促使人們進行仔細檢查，結果發現新形 成的噴口表面溫度高達77°C (171°F)。 What caught researchers’ attention wasn’t just the heat—it was also the fine gray siliceous clay coating around the vent. This thin layer of clay indicated that the opening was recent, not a long-established feature. The discovery was made and confirmed by scientists from the Yellowstone Volcano Observatory (YVO). The first sign of the vent was a plume of steam that hadn’t been there before.

That earlier activity occurred on the opposite side of the same rhyolite lava flow, just west of Nymph Lake. According to YVO: “This hydrothermal activity persists through this day but is much less energetic than when it first formed.” This historical context has led scientists to suspect a possible underground connection between the two features. Both sites may be linked via a line of faults that runs from the Norris Geyser Basin to the Mammoth Hot Springs. This fault system could act as a conduit for hydrothermal fluids moving beneath the surface. 有趣的是，新的噴口似乎與2003 年 3 月記錄的類似熱液事件相呼應。早期的活動發生在 同一流紋岩熔岩流的對面，位於寧芙湖的正西側。據 YVO 稱： “這種熱液活動一直持續到今天，但比剛形成時活躍程度要低得多。” 這段歷史背景使得科學家懷疑這兩處地形之間可能存在地下連結。這兩個地點可能透過從 諾里斯間歇泉盆地到猛獁溫泉的斷層線連接起來。此斷層系統可作為地表下熱液流動的管 道。 Active but Calming: A Plume That’s Losing Steam When it first appeared, the vent belched a thick steam cloud into the air, which persisted throughout the fall of 2024. By the time winter arrived, that visible activity had decreased significantly. The feature is still active, but it’s now releasing little to no steam. What comes next is uncertain. Scientists are closely monitoring the vent to track any changes in its behavior. Whether it will fade like its 2003 counterpart or continue to evolve remains to be seen.

Beneath the iconic geysers and hot springs lies a massive magma reservoir, constantly reshaping the park ’s geology. The region is a supervolcano, still active, dynamic, and riddled with hidden geothermal movements. Yellowstone isn’t just a picturesque national park—it’s a living laboratory where earthquakes frequently ripple through the ground, random hydrothermal explosions shake the crust, and newly emerging features provide clues to the behavior of the underlying volcanic system. 類似這個噴口的新特徵的出現是黃石公園成為科學重要地點的原因之一。標誌性的間歇泉 和溫泉下方有一個巨大的岩漿庫，不斷重塑公園的地質狀況。該地區是一座超級火山，仍 然活躍、充滿活力，並充滿了隱藏的地熱運動。 黃石公園不僅僅是一個風景如畫的國家公園，它還是一個活生生的實驗室，地震頻繁發生 ，地面起伏不定，隨機的熱液爆發震動地殼，新出現的特徵為底層火山系統的行為提供了 線索。 From Hot Springs to Life’s Origins Yellowstone’s bubbling hot springs are not just geological curiosities. The microbial ecosystems living in these toxic environments offer insights into the kinds of extreme adaptations life can make. Studying these microbes may also help scientists understand how life originated on Earth, or even how it might survive on other worlds. 從溫泉到生命起源 黃石公園冒泡的溫泉不僅僅是地質奇觀。生活在這些有毒環境中的微生物生態系統為我們 了解生命能做出哪些極端適應提供了幫助。研究這些微生物還可以幫助科學家了解生命在 地球上是如何起源的，甚至如何在其他星球上生存。 These unique life forms thrive in hostile conditions—boiling temperatures, mineral-laden waters, and acidic pools—and are part of what makes Yellowstone a globally significant site for astrobiology and extreme environment research. As the Yellowstone Volcano Observatory notes, “there’s always something new ” in the park’s vast geothermal network. Whether it’s a change in geyser behavior, a shift in underground fluid flow, or the sudden appearance of a vent like the one discovered in 2024, each new feature deepens our understanding of this restless, fiery landscape. 這些獨特的生命形式在惡劣的條件下（沸騰的溫度、富含礦物質的水和酸性池）茁壯成長 ，這也是黃石公園成為全球重要的天體生物學和極端環境研究中心的原因之一。 正如黃石火山觀測站所說，公園龐大的地熱網絡中「總是會有新鮮事」。無論是間歇泉行 為的變化、地下流體流動的變化，還是像 2024 年發現的噴口那樣的突然出現，每一個新 特徵都會加深我們對這片躁動而熾熱的景觀的理解。 5.完整新聞連結 (或短網址)不可用YAHOO、LINE、MSN等轉載媒體: https://reurl.cc/OYpq7D 6.備註: 順帶一提，黃石公園的熊幾乎全部離巢準備跑路了，附圖如下： https://imgur.com/w52rlEQ.jpg https://x.com/PencilRusty/status/1904564022575247662 https://x.com/wenli9187/status/1905413360834969777 -- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m-QXmqX7k8Q 劉德華 悟 電影【新少林寺】主題曲 https://youtu.be/dLRLWy7bKS4 作曲：趙欽 作詞：劉德華 《金剛總持祈請文》 編曲：Adam Lee．飾墜．陳德建 蔣巴桑波 (第七世噶瑪巴確扎嘉措之根本上師) 著 監製：陳德建．李安修 不要把金王冠織入鳥巢中 招惹微風與獵槍是不明智的 依常斷見所立宗 能壞慧命因緣法 精勤十善一夜盡 縱生天人多闡提 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc), 來自: 59.124.203.223 (臺灣) ※ 文章網址: https://www.ptt.cc/bbs/Gossiping/M.1743151774.A.8CB.html
