Photographs of Steamboat Geyser, Yellowstone National Park

Photograph of the 2 May eruption of Steamboat Geyser.
Steamboat, located in Norris Geyser Basin, is one of Yellowstone's most famous geysers. Eruptions occur sporadically, but are well worth the wait. Columns of hot water reach heights up to 100 meters. This is followed by a raucus steam phase that can last for over a day, loudly discharging steam nearly 200 meters into the atmosphere. This photograph shows a vertical view of the 2 May 2000 eruption. Photograph courtesy of Tom Cawley, NPS.
