The geyser erupts from the casing of a well drilled in the late 19th century, which opened up a dead geyser.

The most recent eruption of Steamboat Geyser occurred on October 7, 2024. [10] This was the 168th eruption since it re-activated in early 2018. [11] In 2019 the 48th eruption occurred on December 26. That set a new record for the most eruptions within a calendar year. The calendar year 2020 also saw 48 eruptions, tying the record set in 2019. [12]
The Strokkur geyser may be confused with it, and the geothermal field it is in is known usually as either, Geysir or Haukadalur. Eruptions at Geysir can typically hurl boiling water up to 60 m (200 ft) in the air. [1] However, eruptions are nowadays infrequent, and have in the past stopped altogether for many years at a time.

16-second video clip of an eruption. More than 1,000,000 eruptions have been recorded. Harry Woodward first described a mathematical relationship between the duration and intervals of the eruptions in 1938. [8] [9] Old Faithful is not the tallest or largest geyser in the park; those titles belong to the less predictable Steamboat Geyser. [4]
