This virtual tour features three-dimensional images from the United States Geological Survey's (USGS) collection. These images are restored versions of famous 'stereographs' shot in the park by Frank Jay Haynes in the 1880s. They introduce visitors to the volcanic deposits and features of Yellowstone National Park, including geysers, hot springs, and deposits of tuff and rhyolite associated with massive eruptions in the Yellowstone Caldera that occurred as recently as 640,000 years ago. The 3-D images are anaglyphs and require red and cyan 3-D viewing glasses.
