Steamboat Geyser, Natural geyser in Norris Basin, Yellowstone National Park, US
The geyser releases water columns reaching heights of 120 meters through two separate vents positioned 6 meters apart in the northern section.
Between 1911 and 1961, the geyser remained inactive until it resumed eruptions, marking one of the longest recorded dormancy periods in its history.
Scientists and visitors gather at designated viewing areas to document eruption patterns, contributing to geological research and temperature measurement databases.
The surrounding boardwalk provides access to observation points, with nearby information panels explaining the geyser's geological formation and eruption characteristics.
During the 2019 and 2020 seasons, Steamboat set records with 48 major eruptions each year, demonstrating an unprecedented increase in activity.
