Miette Hot Springs, Jasper National Park, Alberta, 011

Miette Hot Springs, Jasper National Park, Alberta, 011

Description : Following an ancient path through the earths crust, water as hot as 53.9ºC flows out of springs in a narrow canyon along Sulphur Creek. Heated by geothermal warmth, the Miette Hotsprings are the hottest known springs in the Canadian Rockies.
Each minute approximately 800 litres of steaming water pours out of the natural ducts along the creek. Rich in calcium, sulphate and hydrogen-sulphide (which accounts for the odour of rotten eggs), the water is collected, cooled, chlorinated and filtered, then pumped into the pools of the current aquacourt, opened in 1986.
