Old Faithful Geyser Erupting (Upper Geyser Basin, Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming)
The most popular and predictable geyser in Yellowstone National Park. Contray to popular belief, it's nether the tallest nor largest geyser in Yellowstone National Park. The wait time lasts roughly between 35 minutes and 2 hours. We were here for 1 hour 20 minutes!! It wasn't a large eruption, however, we managed to catch a glimpse of another geyser erupting towards the end of Old Faithful's eruption. Most of the people watching whom had waited for a while quickly ditched Old Faithful to check it out!
Old Faithful is a cone geyser located in Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming, United States. Old Faithful was named in 1870 during the Washburn-Langford-Doane Expedition and was the first geyser in the park to receive a name.[3][4] It is one of the most predictable geographical features on Earth, erupting every 35 to 120 minutes. The geyser, as well as the nearby Old Faithful Inn, is part of the Old Faithful Historic District.
Eruptions can shoot 3,700 to 8,400 US gallons (14,000 to 32,000 L) of boiling water to a height of 106 to 185 feet (32 to 56 m) lasting from 1.5 to 5 minutes. The average height of an eruption is 145 feet (44 m).[7] Intervals between eruptions can range from 35 to 120 minutes, averaging 66.5 minutes in 1939,[8] slowly increasing to an average of 90 minutes apart today.[9] The time between eruptions has a bimodal distribution, with the mean interval being either 65 or 91 minutes.
More than 137,000 eruptions have been recorded. Harry Woodward first described a mathematical relationship between the duration and intervals of the eruptions in 1938.[8][10] Old Faithful is not the tallest or largest geyser in the park; those titles belong to the less predictable Steamboat Geyser.[4]
Yellowstone National Park is a national park 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.[4][5] Yellowstone, the first National Park in the U.S. and widely held to be the first national park in the world,[6] is known for its wildlife and its many geothermal features, especially Old Faithful Geyser, one of the most popular features in the park.[7] It has many types of ecosystems, but the subalpine forest is the most abundant. It is part of the South Central Rockies forests ecoregion.

Yellowstone NP: Old Faithful and the Upper Geyser Besin (4K/UHD)
#yellowstone #wyoming #oldfaithful #geyser
Old Faithful (the old faithful) is one of the best known geysers on earth. It is a nozzle-shaped geyser and is located in the upper geyser basin of Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming State (USA). Old Faithful is located at an altitude of 2240 meters above sea level. The eruption column reaches a height of about 30 to 55 m. An eruption usually takes between 1.5 and 5 minutes without its typical foreplay, between 14,000 and 32,000 liters of water are ejected per eruption. The Old Faithful is one of the great geysers.
The Upper Geyser Basin, also known as the Old Faithful Region, is the region in Yellowstone National Park that has the highest concentration of geothermal objects in the park.
In order to cope with the huge influx of tourists, the park managers had the Old Faithful Inn built next to the geyser in 1903/04. The building of the inn is called the largest log cabin in the world, but this is unsecured.
Old Faithful (der alte Getreue) ist einer der bekanntesten Geysire der Erde. Er ist ein düsenförmiger Geysir und befindet sich im oberen Geysir-Becken des Yellowstone-Nationalparks im Bundesstaat Wyoming (USA). Old Faithful befindet sich in einer Höhe von 2240 m über dem Meeresspiegel.Die Eruptionssäule erreicht eine Höhe von ca. 30 bis 55 m. Eine Eruption dauert meistens zwischen 1,5 und 5 Minuten ohne sein typisches Vorspiel, zwischen 14.000 und 32.000 Liter Wasser werden pro Eruption ausgestoßen. Der Old Faithful gehört damit zu den großen Geysiren.
Das obere Geysir-Becken (engl.: Upper Geyser Basin), auch Old-Faithful-Region genannt, ist die Region im Yellowstone-Nationalpark, welche die höchste Konzentration von geothermalen Objekten im Park aufweist.
Um dem großen Touristenstrom gerecht zu werden, ließen die Parkverantwortlichen 1903/04 neben dem Geysir den Old Faithful Inn bauen. Das Gebäude des Gasthauses wird als größtes Blockhaus der Welt bezeichnet, dies ist allerdings ungesichert.

???????? GRAND PRISMATIC SPRING - Yellowstone National Park - USA Wyoming
Grand Prismatic Spring is one of the most visited spots within Yellowstone.
It is also the largest hot spring in the United States and the third largest hot spring in the world.
The spring is approximately 370 feet (110 m) in diameter and is 121 feet (40 m) deep.
The spring discharges an estimated 560 US gallons (2,100 L) of 160 °F (70 °C) water per minute.
The hot giant crater is mainly composed of sulfur and iron oxide.
The amazing colorations, are caused by bacteria, living on the edges of the mineral rich water.
In summer, the edges tend to be orange and red, while that in winter, the edges are usually dark green.
The center of the pool is sterile due to extreme heat.
This video was shot from two locations: first, from the nearby hill, and the second by the spring.

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.
