Woman falls into thermal feature at Yellowstone

"Yellowstone National Park officials confirmed a woman illegally entered the park Tuesday morning and fell into a thermal feature at Old Faithful.

The park told NBC Montana that they do not know which thermal feature she fell in, but added she was backing up to take photos.

Officials say she suffered burns."

A lack of awareness of the need to keep her distance from more than other people. Or: Look before you lens. She is currently in hospital.

It's amazing to me how many people get so focused on framing the perfect photograph that they completely forget about their surroundings. Thanks, Gene!
