The geyser erupts from the casing of a well drilled in the late 19th century, which opened up a dead geyser. [41] In the case of the Big Mine Run Geyser in Ashland, Pennsylvania, the heat powering the geyser (which erupts from an abandoned mine vent) comes not from geothermal power, but from the long-simmering Centralia mine fire.

Riverside Geyser is a geyser in Yellowstone National Park in the U.S. state of Wyoming. The geyser is located on the Firehole River within the Upper Geyser Basin. The geyser shoots steam and water to heights of 75 feet (23 m) in an arch over the river, sometimes causing rainbows. The eruptions occur every 5 1 ⁄ 2 to 7 hours.
Spasmodic Geyser is a geyser located in the Upper Geyser Basin in Yellowstone National Park in the United States. Spasmodic Geyser's eruptions from the two craters can be up to 15 feet (4.6 m) high. Water can also erupt from a few inches to ten feet high from the approximately 20 vents.
The Excelsior Geyser pool discharges 4,000 to 4,500 gallons (15,100–17,000 L) [5] of 199 °F (93 °C) [3] water per minute directly into the Firehole River. In the late 19th century (and possibly 1901), it was an active geyser that erupted frequently. Most eruptions were about 100 feet high, although some exceeded 300 feet (91 m) in both ...
Strokkur (Icelandic [ˈstrɔhkʏr̥], "churn") is a fountain-type geyser located in a geothermal area beside the Hvítá River in Iceland in the southwest part of the country, east of Reykjavík. [1] It typically erupts every 6–10 minutes. [2] Its usual height is 15–20 metres (49–66 ft), although it can sometimes erupt up to 40 metres ...
The world's largest active geyser has erupted three times in the past six weeks at Yellowstone National Park.
Grand erupts every 4 to 8 hours. It belongs to the Grand Group (or Grand Geyser Complex), and its eruption is connected to those of the other geysers in the group, especially the adjacent Vent Geyser and Turban Geyser. [4] For a few hours before an eruption by Grand, Turban Geyser erupts for a duration of five minutes about every 17 to 22 minutes.
The world's largest active geyser has erupted three times in the past six weeks at Yellowstone National Park, including once this week, in a pattern that is unusual but not at all indicative of a ...
