NASA Discovers Mantle Plume Melting Antarctica From Below

So, what you are saying is that the temperature of that hot spring is the temperature of all the land around it. LOL

Norris Geyser Basin | Introduction to Yellowstone

) Norris Geyser Basin — One of Yellowstone National Park’s most popular geyser basins, Norris is home to Echinus (one of the Park’s most popular geysers) and Steamboat (the world’s tallest geyser). In addition, there are several miles of boardwalks from which you can explore dozens of multi-colored thermal features. Finally, elk and the occasional bison can sometimes be spotted in the area.

Norris Geyser Basin is the the hottest geyser basin in Yellowstone. The basin is comprised of two distinct sections: The Back Basin is in a forest setting (at least it was before the 1988 fires, now its more of a regenerating forest setting). It contains geysers and hot springs tucked among the trees. The Porcelain Basin is characterized by a lack of vegetation. No plants can live in thr hot, acidic, water emitted from the numerous thermal features in the basin. Porcelain Basin presents a beautiful but desolate visage which is unlike any of the other geyser basins in Yellowstone.

Norris Geyser Basin is constantly changing. New geysers are born, old ones die. Even the major geysers change from year to year. This makes Norris an interesting place to study but a difficult place to predict. This is part of the fun of Norris.

Most of Norris basin is forested, the trees are starting to grow among the dead standing trees from that fire. You told a lie concerning the cause of the dead trees and were called on it. Then you post other nonsense concerning the temperature of the ground. Those trees would not be coming back were the ground as hot as you claimed.
 
DUH... Its on the edge of Norris basin. And it is a sub surface measurement..

No, it very clearly says it's the water temperature of a hot spring. Here's the paragraph for Opalescent Spring.

Water temperature is measured beneath the pool surface.

Just drop the fraud already, will you? You're embarrassing yourself.
