Big Cub Geyser, Geyser in Upper Geyser Basin of Yellowstone National Park, United States.
Big Cub Geyser is a geyser in the Upper Geyser Basin of Yellowstone National Park. It belongs to the Lion Group and has water that reaches about 92 degrees Celsius (199 degrees Fahrenheit).
The Lion Group received its name from park researchers who documented the sounds produced during eruptions. This naming system still helps distinguish the different geysers in this area today.
Scientists from Montana State University conduct regular studies of Big Cub Geyser to understand the geothermal patterns of Yellowstone's thermal features.
A wooden boardwalk connects the different thermal features in this zone, making it easy to walk between them. Sturdy footwear is important since the paths can be wet and slippery.
It forms an underground connection with Lion Geyser, Lioness Geyser, and Little Cub Geyser beneath the surface. This hidden network allows scientists to study how geothermal systems behave and change.
