They are lucky they didn’t go through the fragile crust and boil the flesh off their bones.

No kidding! They should read the book, Death in Yellowstone, hair raising stories of people doing just that.

I agree. Let the fools walk where they want if off trail. Those thermal springs are between 190 and 212 degrees. They will boil your skin off most efficiently. Oddly if you are recovered from the thermal you may live for a few days or even weeks. You will die in extreme pain lessened by much morphine.

I have no sympathy for malignant stupidity.

There's a lot of heat down under that crust.

I remember as a kid trying to dig a hole in my backyard to China. I got in a lot of trouble for that. Even though I only got about six feet deep. I found a wheat penny and a couple of arrowheads.
