Miniature Mud Volcano
This series of photographs shows a miniature mud volcano and it's' accompanying miniature mud flow what my family refers to as the "Mud Fairies' Miniature Mud Volcanoes" which are located on the north end of the Microcasm Basin in the Pocket Basin Mud Pots in the Lower Geyser Basin. The first 5 photos show a gas bubble forming and bursting in a shallow miniature mud volcano (small coned mudpots). The gas bubble sometimes times cause their mud to flow out of the central crater and down the sides form mudflows. In this pictures several flows of different ages can be seen. The last 3 photos show the details of one of these accompanying flows.
