Yellowstone National Park:

Historic and Modern 3-D Photographs Featuring Park Geology

Click here to see more 3-D geology tours of national parks.

The images used for this website were made from original stereographs (black and white stereo pairs) that were scanned and manipulated into anaglyphs (3-D images) with image processing software (Adobe PhotoShop). You will need red-and-cyan stereo viewing glasses to get the 3-D visual effects.

This website is an image tour of Yellowstone National Park. The images are anaglyphs. They are large (~800 KB each) and may be slow to load.

The original stereographs were purchased as souveniers by Emma Sanor (from Minerva, Ohio) while visiting Yellowstone in 1916. The sterographs are therefore older than that date (and have hense expired their copyright). Stereo photography became extremely popular starting in the early 1880's. The oldest date for any of these original images was about 1884. Individual pages can be clicked on below. Note that the names (shown in black and white on the images) are the original, "historic," names of the locations, and the photograph titles.
