How hot is the water in the hot springs in Yellowstone?

The geyser erupts boiling water at about 93 °C (200 °F). Photo by Shaul Hurwitz on April 12, 2007. Deep beneath Yellowstone Lake, the pressure increases due to the weight of overlying water. The hottest springs in the deepest part of the lake, at 125 m (410 ft) below the water, have a temperature of 174 °C (345 °F).
