Morning Glory Pool

Long a favored destination for park visitors, Morning Glory Pool was named in the 1880s for its remarkable likeness to its namesake flower. However, this beautiful pool has fallen victim to vandalism. People have thrown literally tons of coins, trash, rocks, and logs into the pool. Much of the debris subsequently became embedded in the sides and vent of the spring, affecting water circulation and accelerating the loss of thermal energy. Through the years Morning Glory's appearance has changed as its temperature dropped. Orange and yellow bacteria that formerly colored only the periphery of the spring now spread toward its center.

Unfortunately, vandalism to Morning Glory Pool began early. The spring originally had a scalloped sinter border, 6-10 inches (15-25 cm) wide and 2-5 inches (5-13 cm) high. The entire rim was dismantled by souvenir hunters. By the 1950s, people had thrown so much trash, rocks, logs, and coins into the spring that Morning Glory Pool became known informally as the "garbage can."

Much of the debris became embedded in the sides and vent of the spring, affecting water circulation and decreasing the water temperature. Consequently, yellow and orange microorganisms, previously unable to live in hotter water, have spread towards the center of the pool, decreasing the area of clear blue.

NPS에 나와있는 공식 안내문이다. 대충 내용은 '좋은 호수인데 쓰레기를 버리는 바람에 망가져버렸음' 정도....

토익 340점이라 정확한 독해는 불가능하지만 어디에서도 acid니 ph니 하는 단어들을 찾아볼 수 없는 것으로 보아도

극악의 산성도 때문에 사람이 5초만에 녹아내리네 뭐네 하는건 사실이 아닌 듯 하다.

아니면 설마 '호수 따위의 산성도가 높아서 사람이 죽어나가는건 별로 대수로운 일이 아니야'라고 생각해서

안내문에 적어놓지 않은 것인가...





어쨌든 결론
 
= 산성호수가 있기는 한데 모닝글로리 호수가 죽음의 호수니 뭐니 하는거는 다 뻥이다
