Porcelain Basin - FULL VIDEO TOUR (Norris Geyser Basin, Yellowstone National Park, WY)
This is near the north west side of the park, definately worth the stop! Norris Geyser Basin is one of the best places to visit at Yellowstone!
Norris Geyser Basin - thermal complex in Yellowstone National Park in the state of Wyoming , in the United States , located 40 km to the east of the western gate to the park. For areas located in this area consist of both geysers and geothermal reservoirs . Cluster tracks thermal activity owes its chamber of magma located under the entire area of the park, known as the caldera of Yellowstone . Heated lava heats the groundwater and subsoil collected after melting of snow or rains then pushing them to the surface under high pressure. In the area of Norris Geyser Basin magma is very close to the surface, which makes it complex is the hottest product of the park. The uniqueness of the thermal elements Norris is the fact that the pH of the water is acidic, unlike others in Yellowstone. The entire complex is divided into two parts - Back Basin and Porcelain Basin, their area extends Tantalus Creek stream [1] .

Norris Geyser Basin, Yellowstone National Park- Wyoming
The Norris Geyser Basin is the hottest geyser basin in the park. The tallest active geyser in the world is Steamboat Geyser and it is located in Norris Basin. Unlike the slightly smaller but much more famous Old Faithful Geyser located in Upper Geyser Basin, Steamboat has an erratic and lengthy timetable between major eruptions. During major eruptions, which may be separated by intervals of more than a year (the longest recorded span between major eruptions was 50 years), Steamboat erupts over 300 feet (90 m) into the air. Steamboat does not lie dormant between eruptions, instead displaying minor eruptions of approximately 40 feet (12 m).

Norris Geyser Basin, Yellowstone National Park (Trip 3 Vid 22) United States
Norris Geyser Basin has a large collection of thermal features. It is home to the world's tallest geyser, Steamboat. It rarely has major eruptions so has only been seen by a few.
Yellowstone Park Geyser Compilation HD
Yellowstone Park Geyser Compilation HD
A geyser is a spring characterized by intermittent discharge of water ejected turbulently and accompanied by steam.
The formation of geysers is due to particular hydrogeological conditions, which exist in only a few places on Earth, so they are a fairly rare phenomenon. Generally all geyser field sites are located near active volcanic areas, and the geyser effect is due to the proximity of magma. Generally, surface water works its way down to an average depth of around 2,000 metres (6,600 ft) where it contacts hot rocks. The resultant boiling of the pressurized water results in the geyser effect of hot water and steam spraying out of the geyser's surface vent (a hydrothermal explosion).
Over one thousand known geysers exist worldwide. At least 1283 geysers have erupted in Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming, United States, and an average of 465 geysers are active there in a given year A geyser's eruptive activity may change or cease due to ongoing mineral deposition within the geyser plumbing, exchange of functions with nearby hot springs, earthquake influences, and human intervention.
Jet-like eruptions, often referred to as geysers, have been observed on several of the moons of the outer solar system. Due to the low ambient pressures, these eruptions consist of vapor without liquid; they are made more easily visible by particles of dust and ice carried aloft by the gas. Water vapor jets have been observed near the south pole of Saturn's moon Enceladus, while nitrogen eruptions have been observed on Neptune's moon Triton. There are also signs of carbon dioxide eruptions from the southern polar ice cap of Mars. In the latter two cases, instead of being driven by geothermal energy, the eruptions seem to rely on solar heating via a solid-state greenhouse effect.
Yellowstone is the largest geyser locale, containing thousands of hot springs, and approximately 300 to 500 geysers. It is home to half of the world's total number of geysers in its nine geyser basins. It is located mostly in Wyoming, USA, with small portions in Montana and Idaho. Yellowstone includes the world's tallest active geyser (Steamboat Geyser in Norris Geyser Basin), as well as the renowned Old Faithful Geyser, Beehive Geyser, Giantess Geyser, Lion Geyser, Plume Geyser, Aurum Geyser, Castle Geyser, Sawmill Geyser, Grand Geyser, Oblong Geyser, Giant Geyser, Daisy Geyser, Grotto Geyser, Fan & Mortar Geysers, & Riverside Geyser, all in the Upper Geyser Basin which alone contains nearly 180 geysers

Yellowstone is the first and oldest national park in the world and is famous for its wildlife and geothermal features, especially Old Faithful Geyser. It has many types of ecosystems, but the subalpine forest is dominant. It is part of the South Central Rockies forests ecoregion.
With over 10,000 hydrothermal features that includes more than 300 geysers, Yellowstone is home to over one-half of the world's hydrothermal features.
Yellowstone National Park is located primarily in the U.S. state of Wyoming, although it also extends into Montana and Idaho. It was established by the U.S. Congress and signed into law by President Ulysses S. Grant on March 1, 1872.

Norris Geyser Basin is the hottest and most changeable thermal area in Yellowstone. We will explore many of the features you would see if you walked the 2 1/4 miles (3.6 km) of trails. Discover the location of the world's tallest active geyser, colorful hot springs, and microscopic life in one of the most extreme environments on earth.
Our tour starts at the Norris Museum. The museum houses exhibits relating to the origins of the geothermal features found at the basin. Two loop trails leave from here. They provide a safe route for viewing the Porcelain Basin and Back Basin.
Rainbow Colors, hissing steam, and pungent odors combine to create an experience unique in Yellowstone. Porcelain Basin is open terrain with hundreds of densely packed geothermal features; in contrast, Back Basin is forested and its features are more scattered and isolated. Click the Next Stop link below to begin your tour of Porcelain Basin.
Yellowstone National Park | Old Faithful and Geyser Basin
Yellowstone National Park Old Faithful and Geyser Basin: Spend the day as we enjoy this beautiful area of the park. This is nature as art! Hot water and thin crust and an active volcanic area!
Make our day today! Give us a thumbs-up, SUBSCRIBE, COMMENT, and SHARE this video with a friend. Are we asking TOO much?
Spend the day with us as we thoroughly enjoy and explore Yellowstone National Park's Old Faithful, Upper Geyser Basin, Biscuit Basin and Black Sand Basin. You may not know that the majority of the world's active geysers are here. Only four other locations in the world - Russia (Kamchatka), Chile, New Zealand and Iceland - have large concentrations of geysers. And surprisingly, park rangers can fairly accurately forecast the eruptions of five geysers located here so ask a ranger for the schedule.
The Upper Geyser Basin is a fascinating area and a highlight of Yellowstone but it takes time to see. If you don’t have the time or inclination to wait and see the geysers here then skip the Upper Geyser Basin. Watch Old Faithful erupt, get into your car and drive north to the Lower Geyser Basin and the Fountain Paint Pots. The Fountain Paint Pots Trail is an easy 1/2 mile trail that passes good examples of most of the types of thermal features found in Yellowstone including some geysers that are almost always in eruption. You’ll get more out of a short tour of the Fountain Paint Pots than the Upper Geyser Basin.
Whatever you do, don’t rush through the Upper Geyser Basin. Don’t just walk down to the over-rated Morning Glory Pool and walk back. Morning Glory Pool is well-worth seeing, but there is much more to the Upper Geyser Basin.
If you have the time and inclination to see the Upper Geyser Basin you won’t be disappointed. Take your time and wait for some of the geysers to erupt. Try to take a ranger led walk. Explore the basin leisurely. There is a lot to see in the Upper Geyser Basin, but it simply takes adequate time.

Canary Spring, Mammoth Hot Spring, Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming, United States, North America
Mammoth Hot Springs is a large complex of hot springs on a hill of travertine in Yellowstone National Park adjacent to Fort Yellowstone and the Mammoth Hot Springs Historic District. It was created over thousands of years as hot water from the spring cooled and deposited calcium carbonate. Although these springs lie outside the caldera boundary, their energy has been attributed to the same magmatic system that fuels other Yellowstone geothermal areas. Dead trees in an area of intense deposition of calcium carbonate. The hot water that feeds Mammoth comes from Norris Geyser Basin after traveling underground via a fault line that runs through limestone and roughly parallel to the Norris-to-Mammoth road. The limestone from rock formations along the fault is the source of the calcium carbonate. Shallow circulation along this corridor allows Norris' superheated water to slightly cool before surfacing at Mammoth, generally at about 170 °F (80 °C). Algae living in the warm pools have tinted the travertine shades of brown, orange, red, and green. Thermal activity here is extensive both over time and distance. The thermal flows show much variability with some variations taking place over periods ranging from decades to days. Terrace Mountain at Mammoth Hot Springs is the largest known carbonate-depositing spring in the world. The most famous feature at the springs is the Minerva Terrace, a series of travertine terraces. The terraces have been deposited by the spring over many years but, due to recent minor earthquake activity, the spring vent has shifted, rendering the terraces dry. The Mammoth Terraces extend all the way from the hillside, across the Parade Ground, and down to Boiling River. The Mammoth Hotel, as well as all of Fort Yellowstone, is built upon an old terrace formation known as Hotel Terrace. There was some concern when construction began in 1891 on the fort site that the hollow ground would not support the weight of the buildings. Several large sink holes (fenced off) can be seen out on the Parade Ground. This area has been thermally active for several thousand years. The Mammoth area exhibits much evidence of glacial activity from the Pinedale Glaciation. The summit of Terrace Mountain is covered with glacial till, thereby dating the travertine formation there to earlier than the end of the Pinedale Glaciation. Several thermal kames, including Capitol Hill and Dude Hill, are major features of the Mammoth Village area. Ice-marginal stream beds are in evidence in the small, narrow valleys where Floating Island Lake and Phantom Lake are found. In Gardner Canyon one can see the old, sorted gravel bed of the Gardner River covered by unsorted glacial till. The geothermal areas of Yellowstone include several geyser basins in Yellowstone National Park as well as other geothermal features such as hot springs, mud pots, and fumaroles. The number of thermal features in Yellowstone is estimated at 10,000. A study that was completed in 2011 found that a total of 1283 geysers have erupted in Yellowstone, 465 of which are active during an average year. These are distributed among nine geyser basins, with a few geysers found in smaller thermal areas throughout the Park. The number of geysers in each geyser basin are as follows: Upper Geyser Basin (410), Midway Geyser Basin (59), Lower Geyser Basin (283), Norris Geyser Basin (193), West Thumb Geyser Basin (84), Gibbon Geyser Basin (24), Lone Star Geyser Basin (21), Shoshone Geyser Basin (107), Heart Lake Geyser Basin (69), other areas (33). Although famous large geysers like Old Faithful are part of the total, most of Yellowstone's geysers are small, erupting to only a foot or two. The hydrothermal system that supplies the geysers with hot water sits within an ancient active caldera. Many of the thermal features in Yellowstone build up sinter, geyserite, or travertine deposits around and within them. The various geyser basins are located where rainwater and snowmelt can percolate into the ground, get indirectly superheated by the underlying Yellowstone hotspot, and then erupt at the surface as geysers, hot springs, and fumaroles. Thus flat-bottomed valleys between ancient lava flows and glacial moraines are where most of the large geothermal areas are located. Smaller geothermal areas can be found where fault lines reach the surface, in places along the circular fracture zone around the caldera, and at the base of slopes that collect excess groundwater.
