Vent Geyser, Geothermal vent in Upper Geyser Basin, US
Vent Geyser is a three-vent geyser system located in the Upper Geyser Basin that discharges mineral-rich water through small openings along the Firehole River. The activity creates orange-tinted deposits of geyserite that build up around the vents.
The geyser's underground channels changed significantly over time, creating connections with the eruption patterns of the neighboring Mortar Geyser. These geological shifts continue to influence how the system behaves today.
Scientists and geologists regularly study this geyser to understand the intricate relationships between different hydrothermal features in Yellowstone National Park.
Visitors can observe the geyser's activity from designated boardwalks while maintaining a safe distance from water that reaches about 78°C (172°F). The site remains accessible year-round, though conditions vary with the seasons.
The eruption intervals at this geyser fluctuate unpredictably between several days and multiple months, making each successful observation a rare event. This irregularity sets it apart from other more predictable geysers in the area.
