Morning Geyser is a naturally occurring fountain geyser located within Yellowstone National Park’s Lower Geyser Basin. It was first documented in 1899 and exhibits periodic eruptions reaching heights of approximately 200 feet. This geyser is notable for its consistent eruption patterns, particularly...

White Dome Geyser is a natural geyser located within Yellowstone National Park’s Lower Geyser Basin. The notable feature is its large, white silica cone, approximately three meters high, which dramatically surrounds the active vent. This geyser consistently produces impressive eruptions and is of in...

Fountain Geyser is a natural geyser within Yellowstone’s Lower Basin, specifically the Fountain Group. It produces dramatic, intermittent eruptions reaching heights of approximately eighty feet. The geyser's behavior—driven by underground thermal activity—is notable for its predictable, though varia...

Pink Cone Geyser is a notable hydrothermal feature situated in the Lower Geyser Basin of Yellowstone National Park. It was named by the Hayden Geological Survey due to its distinctively dark, pinkish-red siliceous sinter cone, formed by years of mineral deposits. As a predictable cone geyser, it eru...

Clepsydra Geyser is a fountain-type geyser situated in the Lower Geyser Basin of Yellowstone National Park, adjacent to the Fountain Paint Pot. It was named for the Greek word klepsydra, meaning water clock, because it historically erupted with regular, clock-like intervals. Following the 1959 Hebge...

Mound Geyser is a frequently active geyser in the River Group of Yellowstone's Lower Geyser Basin, near the Firehole River in Wyoming.

Spasm Geyser is a small thermal feature in Yellowstone National Park's Lower Geyser Basin in Wyoming. It is known for irregular, intermittent eruptions in which water is expelled in short bursts rather than through a predictable cycle. The name refers to this spasmodic behavior. Spasm Geyser belongs...

Red Spouter is a hydrothermal feature in Yellowstone National Park's Lower Geyser Basin. Although it can sometimes resemble a small geyser or spouter, the National Park Service identifies it as a mudpot, and its present form is associated with changes caused by the 1959 Hebgen Lake earthquake. It is...

Bead Geyser is a cone-type geyser located in the Lower Geyser Basin of Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming. It earned its name from the distinctive bead-like mineral deposits that form around its vent. The geyser erupts at irregular intervals, typically reaching heights of 10 to 15 feet, with eruptio...

Super Frying Pan Geyser is a named geyser in Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming, within the Fountain Group of the Lower Geyser Basin. It is classified as an intermittent fountain geyser, meaning that it periodically discharges heated water and steam through a surface vent rather than maintaining a c...

Flat Cone Geyser is a hydrothermal feature in Yellowstone National Park's Lower Geyser Basin, within the Sentinel Meadows area. Its name refers to the low, cone-like deposit of sinter, a form of silica deposited by hot spring water. The feature belongs to Yellowstone's wider geothermal system, where...

Narcissus Geyser is a hydrothermal feature in Yellowstone National Park's Lower Geyser Basin. It belongs to the Pink Cone Group, a cluster that also includes Pink Cone Geyser and Pink Geyser. Like other Yellowstone geysers, it is produced by heated groundwater moving through fractures in volcanic ro...

Kaleidoscope Geyser is a small thermal feature in Yellowstone National Park's Lower Geyser Basin, recognized for its vividly colored runoff channels.

Morning's Thief Geyser is a thermal feature in Yellowstone National Park's Upper Geyser Basin in Wyoming, United States. It is connected through the underground plumbing of the basin to Morning Geyser, one of Yellowstone's larger and less frequent eruptive features. Activity at Morning's Thief can d...
