## Abstract

Members of the order Sulfolobales are known to thrive in acidic, high-temperature hot springs. Here, we report the sequencing and complete genome assembly of a hyperthermophilic archaeon Saccharolobus islandicus Y08.82.36, isolated from a hot spring in the Norris Geyser Basin, Yellowstone National Park, USA, in 2008.
