Steam Rising from Volcanic Hot Spring at Dawn in from a ridge above layered foothills near Zermatt

Steam Rising from Volcanic Hot Spring at Dawn

by Carrie Montes

Pale steam curls upward from a steaming pool nestled in layered foothills near Zermatt, catching the first golden rays of sunrise. The water glows with a warm amber hue against the cool gray stone rim. Behind the spring, successive ridges of late spring grass and scattered rock formations recede into the distance under a perfectly clear sky. The light strikes the rising vapor, turning it into translucent ribbons that drift slowly over the landscape. In the foreground, wet moss clings to dark volcanic rock, while distant peaks remain in soft shadow. The steam thickens near the water's edge before dissolving into the crisp morning air.
