Thermal Features in Yellowstone National Park

or “dry geysers”, are holes in the ground that release water vapor and other gases. The smell of rotten eggs comes from the sulfuric acid in the steam.

Fumaroles

also called thermal pool, contained an array of colors depending upon water temperature, mineral or algae content, and absorption of light.

Hot Spring

hot water mixes with clay and other minerals. In the spring and fall the pots are thin and soupy; the mud bubbles and boils. In late summer they thicken and have been known to hurl hot mud 10 to 15 feet high.

Geysers

• Daisy Geyser is part of interconnected group of geyser and hot springs • Underground cracks and fissures allow water and heat to circulate between

them• Daisy Geyser erupts to heights of 75 feet or more• On average, the duration of Daisy Geyser’s eruptions are 3 to 5 minutes

Eruption of Beehive Geyser

This isolated spring is one of the most regular geysers in Yellowstone. Its 75 foot (23 m) eruption lasts about half an hour and is followed by an interval between 5.5 to 7 hours.

Riverside Geyser

Castle Geyser

A steam phase follows which lasts

another 10 minutes

The water shoots between 60-90 feet

blasts for about 15 minutes

The cycle repeat. Total duration of eruption

was about 50 minutes

Castle Geyser

We waited 2 hours in the morning

‘no eruption’ occur but we refused

to give up….waited 45 min

in evening the same day

and our patience paid off.

This Cone Geysererupted for

a duration of 45 minutes

When erupts, it

can rocket the scalding water

90-120 meters into the air –2/3 times the average height of Old Faithful

and steam roars 24 hours after.

The name is misleading

Puff and Stuff Geyser

I don’t know how the name come about. BTW, there are too many to be named & it’s quite a task to name them according to their unique characters

FearlessGeyser

At 122-140oF Whirligig’s run off channel is hot enough to burn you. Thermophiles living here use iron as energy. These chemical users are called “Chemotrophs”

Thermophiles algae, including Cyanidium, inhibit the green channel. They use light as energy (photosynthesize). These “Phototrophs” live where temperature range from 100-103oF
