Red Spouter Mud Pot-Yellowstone NP

Red Spouter (Fountain Paint Pot) didn't even exist before the earthquake, but now is a very active thermal feature that has different personalities. In the spring when water levels are high, Red Spouter displays geyser-like qualities, splashing water a few feet into the air. When the water levels are lower in the summer time, the splashing stops and becomes gurgleing bubbles of mud.
