Shocking moment 'tourons' stray off the boardwalk and wade into hot spring at Yellowstone
The Daily Mail reports "A group of tourists have been caught on camera straying off the boardwalk in Yellowstone National Park, wading into one of the parks famous but potentially lethal hot springs.
The video, which saw four visitors, some only dressed in shorts and a T-shirt, was posted to an Instagram account entitled 'Tourons of Yellowstone' - a compilation of instances of stupid behavior by tourists to the park.
Yellowstone hot springs have extremely high temperatures that are either close to boiling point or even hotter.
Some of the geothermal springs and certain geysers can reach temperatures that far exceed boiling point- even up to 250 Fahrenheit. "
