Rusty Geyser
This small geyser received its name for its rusty, red-colored basin surrounding its funnel-shaped vent. Iron oxides are responsible for staining the sinter. This thermal feature was dormant before the 1959 earthquake. Since then, except from 1964-1967, it has been an active and frequent spouter. Its temperature is above the boiling point and this may be one reason why it is a steady geyser.
Temperature 202°F Interval 2-3 minutes. Duration 20-45 seconds. Height 4-6 feet.
