13th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Ancient Hot Spring
Pictured is the opening of a ancient hot spring near San Ysidro NM. It is located in the White Mesa, part of the Ojito Wilderness. Measuring 20 ft across it opens into a cavern below. Rarely, if ever visited it is the host to local wildlife and a startling find atop a ridge running down the center of a deep box canyon
