Steamboat Geyser - just a minor eruption These happen frequently and activity cycles up and down in strength with quite a bit of irregularities I’m still trying to get a full major eruption video

A good example of a strategic error When I parked and set up my tripod to wait for the eruption the wind was blowing the steam to the side Just about 5 minutes before it erupted, the wind shifted and I was now downwind I should have moved! The spray leaves water spots (sinter) on your car and camera lenses that are nearly impossible to remove after they dry This is Great Fountain Geyser at Firehole Lake Drive in Yellowstone National Park

Tallest geyser in the world but it’s not predictable Interval between eruptions varies from several days to several years After no eruptions for several years, Steamboat Geyser began erupting again in 2018, averaging about 40 eruptions each year for the subsequent 3 years. The interval leading up to the eruption in this video was 26 days, the longest interval in 3 years. The next eruption was July 8th 2021 after an interval of 37 days At the time of this notation, it has been 40 days since the July 8th eruption and i it still hasn’t erupted Steamboat may be slowing down and heading into another quiet period with longer and longer intervals between eruptions I was very fortunate to capture this view and it was an incredible experience!
