Geysers

Strokkur is Iceland’s most visited active geyser. One of the three major attractions on the world-famous Golden Circle sightseeing route, it is usually visited alongside Gullfoss Waterfall and Þingvellir National Park.
Strokkur is found in the Geysir Geothermal Area, titled after the Great Geysir, which lent its name to all others across the world. When I visted Strokkur was erupting every three or four minutes, blasting water to heights of around fifteen to twenty metres into the air.
"Lo realmente importante en este viaje es el viaje en sí. El viaje como destino es una gran verdad. Hacerla propia requiere un aprendizaje, pero quien lo logra habrá dado un gran paso en la búsqueda de la felicidad. Su aplicación va más allá de las montañas pues permite valorar el ir tanto como el llegar"

There are actually nine geyser basins within Yellowstone National Park and over 10000 thermal features. This picture was taken at the Lower Geyser Basin and shows the colors that are present in some of the thermal features. Pretty, if you can stand the smell of sulfur. I admit to gagging my way through much of the terrain.

Not a geyser pool to stick your toe in (none of them are). Besides being very hot it also very acidic. It used to spout regularly (now that's acid rain), but has been irregular since the 1990's. The pool's varied acid strengths provide some colorful microbial mats.
"Echinus is the largest acid-water geyser in the world. Its waters have a pH of 3.3 to 3.6. Acid geysers are extremely rare with the majority of the planet's total being found here at Norris Geyser Basin."
Just another wonder this is Yellowstone!
Thanks for taking a look! Always appreciated.
Excelsior was once the largest geyser In the world, located on Midway Geyser Basin of Yellowstone National Park. Excelsior is now a productive thermal spring, presently discharging 4050 gallons per minute. Numerous vents boil and churn the water within the crater, covering it in a dense layer of steam.
Giant Geyser is a cone-type geyser in the Upper Geyser Basin of Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming. I visited the park in mid-October 2017, and this geyser had most recently erupted on July 7th 2017. Eruption height is 250 feet. Here, it seems to just be blowing off a little steam.
Shot of the Riverside Geyser in the Upper Geyser Basin of Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming. I was really fortunate to get this shot. This geyser only goes off about every 6 hours and 35 minutes, and the eruption lasts for 20 minutes. The geyser shoots an arc of water across the Firehole River. I arrived at this site during the final 5 minutes of an eruption. Water splattered on my camera lens even though I was across the river. I had no idea that the geyser would be going off when I arrived, but I had read about it the night before my last morning in the park, and decided to visit it. Quite a few bear tracks on the trail leading to this location, but that made the hike all the more adventurous for me!

If Riverside Geyser erupts in the afternoon or evening on a sunny day it produces a rainbow. I was lucky to be there for an afternoon eruption.
Clepsydra Geyser is a geyser in the Lower Geyser Basin of Yellowstone National Park in the United States. Clepsydra plays nearly continuously to heights of 45 feet (14 m). It was named by T. B. Comstock during the 1878 Captain Jones expedition, with its nomenclature derived from the Greek word for water clock.

Geyser of light in the geyser's land. This view is taken from the Kerlingarfjöll, in the Highlands of Iceland. The glacier is the Hofsjökull.

Geysir, sometimes known as The Great Geysir, is a geyser in southwestern Iceland. It was the first geyser described in a printed source and the first known to modern Europeans.[citation needed] The English word geyser (a periodically spouting hot spring) derives from Geysir. The name Geysir itself is derived from the Icelandic verb geysa ("to gush"). Geysir lies in the Haukadalur valley on the slopes of Laugarfjall hill, which is also the home to Strokkur geyser about 50 metres (160 ft) south.
This geyser was showing off its stuff during my early morning stroll through the Upper Geyser Basin at Yellowstone National Park. Impressive! Wouldn't want to fall into that thing!
The cone reminded me of vanilla ice cream with caramel on top...
"White Dome Geyser is a conspicuous cone-type geyser located in the Lower Geyser Basin along Firehole Lake Drive. It's 12-foot-high geyser cone is one of the largest in the park." Wiki
I observed it going off in the distance but the show was over by the time I got here. It's eruptions occur ranging from 15 minutes to 3 hours. It reaches a height of 30 feet. The show is quite impressive, but short, lasting approximately 2 minutes.
Friday is here! Have a wonderful Friday and weekend ahead.

Whakarewarewa (meaning The gathering place for the war parties of Wahiao, often abbreviated to Whaka by locals) is a geothermal area within Rotorua city in the Taupo Volcanic Zone of New Zealand. This was the site of the Māori fortress of Te Puia, first occupied around 1325, and known as an impenetrable stronghold never taken in battle. Māori have lived here ever since, taking full advantage of the geothermal activity in the valley for heating and cooking.
Whakarewarewa has some 500 pools, most of which are alkaline chloride hot springs, and at least 65 geyser vents, each with their own name. Seven geysers are currently active. Pohutu Geyser, meaning big splash or explosion, erupts approximately hourly to heights of up to 30 m (98 ft). Wikipedia
I should say this is a valley of geysers number 2. The first one was damaged in 2007.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valley_of_Geysers. But some people say the second one is still one of the biggest in world. It impresses very much when you are there. It smells, it boils and it makes a lot of noise. There are some brave tourists who dare to camp right in the valley. The mountain here is the Mutnovsky volcano.
Thank you for all the comments and favs, my friends.

Noted this small geyser as it spurts some of its steam and water. Interesting to see the mineral deposits that it releases along with the steam.

Photo taken at Yellowstone National Park. The mathematical average between eruptions of Old Faithful is currently 74 minutes, but it doesn't like to act average! Intervals can range from 60-110 minutes. Old Faithful can vary in height from 100-180 feet with an average near 130-140 feet. This has been the historical range of its recorded height. Eruptions normally last between 1.5 to 5 minutes. Information source: yellowstonepark.com.
