A dead tree in the sulphur springs of the Yellowstone National Park in the Mammoth Hot Springs area

Dead trees in the geothermal landscape of Norris Geyser Basin, Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming, USA. The mineral-rich hot springs have created a stark and surreal environment where trees stand bare against a bright blue sky. A powerful symbol of geology, climate, and nature’s raw forces, perfect for global buyers seeking unique science and travel imagery.

Lower Geyser Basin, Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming USA: dead trees in the geothermal areas of Yellowstone National Park are a visible consequence of the park’s shifting thermal activity and mineral-rich soils. Rising heat, steam, and gases from underlying hydrothermal systems can raise soil temperatures and alter groundwater chemistry, often increasing acidity or salinity beyond the tolerance of most plants. These changes can occur gradually or suddenly as geothermal features expand or shift, effectively “cooking” root systems or cutting off access to fresh water. The resulting stands of bleached, barkless trunks—sometimes referred to as “thermal ghost forests”—illustrate the ongoing interaction between Yellowstone’s biological and geothermal processes.

Colorful travertine terraces with dead trees at Mammoth Hot Springs in Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming, USA. The geothermal landscape, shaped by mineral-rich hot water, creates a surreal and otherworldly environment where forests meet geothermal forces. A striking image symbolizing geology, climate, and the raw beauty of Yellowstone.

Yellowstone National Park. The landscape at the Artist Paint Pots geothermal area. The trees have died due to the thermal activity.

Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming, USA: forested area that was heavily affected by wildfire, more common due to climate change. The standing dead trunks (called snags) and fallen logs are remnants of the fire, while the dense growth of young lodgepole pines (Pinus contorta) indicates natural forest regeneration. Lodgepole pine cones are serotinous, meaning they open and release seeds in response to heat, allowing the forest to recover naturally after fire.

Bare Tree at Mammoth Hot Springs in Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming

Fountain Paint Pot, Yellowstone National Park, Teton County, Wyoming, United States. Dead lodgepole pine trees. The trees are dead because of silica absorbed by the soil.

Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming, USA: dead trees at Palette Terrace in Mammoth Hot Springs are remnants of areas once hospitable to vegetation before being overtaken by shifting thermal activity. As hot, mineral-rich water flows into new zones, it deposits calcium carbonate around tree trunks and raises soil temperatures beyond levels tolerable for plant life. Over time, the trees die and become encased in travertine, standing as stark, mineral-coated silhouettes. These formations illustrate the constant change in Yellowstone’s geothermal landscape, where living ecosystems and hydrothermal processes continually reshape one another.
