To help you see the most iconic Yellowstone geothermal features without consuming your entire visit, we've put together this list of hot springs, geysers, and other features every hydrothermal enthusiast should see.
Yellowstone Caldera Chronicles is a weekly column written by scientists and collaborators of the Yellowstone Volcano Observatory. This week s contribution is from Mike Poland, geophysicist with the U.S. Geological Survey and scientist-in-charge of the Yellowstone Volcano Observatory.
How many earthquakes were located in the Yellowstone region in 2020? What geysers have been active recently? What sort of volcanological research is being done in Yellowstone right now? It can sometimes be hard to find such information compiled in a single, easy-to-navigate source.
But not anymore.
Weâre pleased to announce publication of the 2020 Yellowstone Volcano Observatory annual report, which can be accessed at https://pubs.er.usgs.gov/publication/cir1482.

The tallest active geyser in the world has been erupting at a record pace since March 2018. Why are eruptions so energetic, what influences the intervals between eruptions, and why did Steamboat reactivate in the first place?
Yellowstone Caldera Chronicles is a weekly column written by scientists and collaborators of the Yellowstone Volcano Observatory. This week s contribution is from Mara H. Reed, former graduate student at the University of California, Berkeley.
Steamboat Geyser erupts in the golden light of sunrise on July 18th, 2019. The water-dominated part of a Steamboat eruption usually lasts anywhere from 3 to 90 minutes. Afterwards, a steam-dominated phase continues for many hours.
