Yellowstone Foot In A Shoe Found In Warm Spring

Yellowstone National Park officials are investigating after a park employee found part of a foot, inside a shoe, floating in a hot spring in the southern part of the park, officials said Thursday. Tuesday’s discovery at Abyss Pool prompted the temporary closure of West Thumb Geyser Basin and its parking lot. The area has since reopened. The park had no other information about the investigation to release Thursday, park spokeswoman Morgan Warthin said. Abyss Pool, located west of Yellowstone Lake’s West Thumb, is 53 feet (16 meters) deep and the temperature is about 140 degrees Fahrenheit (60 Celsius), park officials said. It is located on the south side of the south loop through the park. In such hot springs, superheated water cools as it reaches the surface, sinks, and is replaced by warmer water below. The traffic prevents the water from reaching the temperature needed to trigger an eruption as happens with the geysers in the park, according to the park’s website.
