	Investigations of the Patterns Of Minor and Major Activity of Steamboat Geyser, 1982-1984. GOSA Transactions Vol.2, ...
		Steamboat's vents emerge from a hillside of Lava Creek Tuff overlain by a thin sheet of siliceous sinter deposited by the activity of the geyser itself.
		Steamboat's two vents are presently known as the north vent and the south vent.
		A rock projection within the crater of Fantail Geyser causes the water from its single vent, an orifice that ejects water violently and horizontally at depth, to be hurled in widely different directions and actually emerge from two pools separated by a spine of sinter [Wolf 1989].

	World Geyser Fields
		Geyser fields and hot springs are scattered widely on the island.
		Geysers are known to have existed in at least a dozen other areas on the island.
		The geyser field itself was located on the side of a hill and immediately at the bottom of the slope.

	The UnMuseum - Geysers
		While geysers are rare (there are less than 700 known geysers in the world) they are not impossible for the average person to observe.
		These geysers produce an eruption where the water and steam come in bursts and water is sprayed around in all directions instead of creating a single column.
		Steamboat geyser, the largest geyser in the world, that can throw water 300 feet into the air, follows its water phase with phase where steam roars out of it for hours.

	Yellowstone Geyser Puzzles Scientist
		Steamboat geyser has erupted five times since May 2000, shooting scalding water and rock as high as 300 feet into the air, and roaring 24 hours afterward.
		Although park officials are unsure of what is happening at Steamboat, they note that the region around the Norris basin has risen about five inches in the past few years, and that water temperatures there increased before an April 2002 eruption.
		Among the ways the park keeps tabs on Steamboat is the monitoring equipment recently installed in the basin, which tests water flow levels, temperature, and even the smallest movements of earth.

		Porkchop Geyser - This was a geyser that was a perpetual geyser in 1985.
		I like this geyser because the pool that later erupts can be clear as glass and then all of a sudden you start to get the riples and then it erupts and then calms down and then the cycle repeats it self.

	The Geysers of Yellowstone: Norris Geyser Basin
		Steamboat can reach 380 feet and its steam phase can be heard miles away.
		Geysers can come and go in days and even the larger more stable geysers change from year to year and some times from day to day.
		Unlike most geysers in Yellowstone and around the world which tend to be alkaline in nature, Echinus, along with most of the other thermal features at Norris Geyser Basin, is acidic in nature.

		Echinus geyser erupts every few hours, and is the largest acid-water geyser known, the waters erupting from it being as acidic as vinegar (ph 3.3 to 3.6).
		A geyser is an opening in the Earth's surface, which erupts a fountain of superheated water and steam into the air.

	[No title]
		The geyser’s first major eruption in nearly nine years could signal a renewed bout of activity by the unpredictable geyser that sometimes has erupted only a few days apart and other times has gone 50 years without an eruption.
		Steamboat’s first recorded eruptions came in 1878, killing trees and tossing boulders from its throat, and its history ever since includes long periods of dormancy punctuated by short periods of activity.
		In 1969, Steamboat fell silent again until 1978, when it began a new series of eruptions that continued with three eruptions in 1989, one eruption in 1990 and one in 1991, which was the last until Tuesday’s surprise performance.

		Norris Geyser Basin area is the hottest and most dynamic area of the park.
		We knew that this geyser has "classic" pattern of eruption: water in its pool is begin to rise and when it reaches the maximum level the geyser erupts.
		One of the interesting features of the geyser is that the acidity of its water is very high (~ pH 3) which is almost as acidic as vinegar.

	Missoulian - Unruly display
		Steamboat, the world's largest geyser, has been known to send a stream of boiling water up 300 feet or higher on rare and nearly unpredictable occasions.
		The basin - filled with hot springs, geysers and steam vents called fumaroles - is outside Yellowstone's caldera, formed by the last volcanic eruption about 640,000 years ago and considered the hotbed for geothermal activity in the park.
		Steamboat's renewed eruptions and the basin rising several centimeters in the past few years could just be normal activity, Lowenstern said.

	Cool Facts about Hot Springs and Geysers
		A: A geyser is a hot spring that throws forth jets of water and steam intermittently.
		Geysers are among the hottest of the hot springs; in fact, some springs will be calm pools for years or decades and then their temperature will rise and they become geysers, at least for a while.
		Another big geyser that is justifiably famous is Geysir in Iceland, the namesake of all the geysers in the world.

	Geyser - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The duration of eruptions and time between successive eruptions vary greatly from geyser to geyser; Strokkur in Iceland erupts for a few seconds every few minutes, while Grand Geyser in the U.S. erupts for up to 10 minutes every 8–12 hours.
		In the 1960s, when the research of biology of geysers first appeared, scientists were generally convinced that no life can survive above around 73 °C (163 °F)—the upper limit for the survival of cyanobacteria, as the structure of key cellular proteins and deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) would be destroyed.
		There used to be two large geysers fields in Nevada—Beowawe and Steamboat Springs—but they were destroyed by the installation of nearby geothermal power plants.
