More than 10,000 hydrothermal features are found here, of which more than 500 are geysers. Microorganisms called thermophiles, or heat lovers, make their homes in the hydrothermal features of Yellowstone.
The four basic types of thermal features present in the Park are geysers, hot springs, fumaroles, and mudpots. Many of these are concentrated in Yellowstone’s major geyser basins: Upper, Midway, Lower, Norris, West Thumb, Shoshone and Heart Lake.
In total, Yellowstone’s geyser basins have over 10,000 hot springs and geysers here including Old Faithful, Morning Glory and Grand Prismatic. Some geysers erupt 300 times yearly. Many erupt faithfully, while others we don’t recommend you wait around for…
A study [ 2 ] that was completed in 2011 found that a total of 1,283 geysers have erupted in Yellowstone, 465 of which are active during an average year. These are distributed among nine geyser basins, with a few geysers found in smaller thermal areas throughout the Park.
List of Yellowstone geothermal features. This is a sortable table of the notable geysers, hot springs, and other geothermal features in the geothermal areas of Yellowstone National Park.
Yellowstone is home to more than 10,000 hydrothermal features, including more than 500 geysers. That's about half of the world's geysers and the largest concentration of active geysers in the world!

Numerous geysers erupt on a regular basis, including the most famous geyser in the world, Old Faithful. In this post, learn how to visit the geyser basins in Yellowstone National Park and which ones are worth your time.
Yellowstone, as a whole, possesses close to 60 percent of the world's geysers. The Upper Geyser Basin is home to the largest numbers of this fragile feature found in the park. Within one square mile there are at least 150 of these hydrothermal wonders.
Yellowstone National Park contains more than 10,000 thermal features, including the world's greatest concentration of geysers, hot springs, mudpots, and steamvents. These features are the visible expression of the hydrothermal system and the underlying hot ground and magma storage region deep below the surface.
