    Geysir lies in the Haukadalur valley on the slopes of Laugarfjall lava dome, which is also the home to Strokkur geyser about 50 metres (160 ft) to the south. [5] The Strokkur geyser may be confused with it, and the geothermal field it is in is known usually as either, Geysir or Haukadalur.

    Steamboat Geyser, in Yellowstone National Park's Norris Geyser Basin, is the world's tallest active geyser. Steamboat Geyser has two vents, northern and southern, approximately 20 feet (6.1 m) apart. The north vent is responsible for the tallest water columns; the south vent's water columns are shorter.

    Old Faithful is a cone geyser in Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming, United States. It was named in 1870 during the Washburn–Langford–Doane Expedition and was the first geyser in the park to be named. [3] [4] It is a highly predictable geothermal feature and has erupted every 44 minutes to two hours since 2000. [5]

  8. Cold-water geyser - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cold-water_geyser

    Andernach Geyser, (Germany), the world's highest cold-water geyser. Cold-water geysers are geysers that have eruptions whose water spurts are propelled by CO 2-bubbles, instead of the hot steam which drives the more familiar hot-water geysers: The gush of a cold-water geyser is identical to the spurt from a freshly-opened bottle of soda pop.

  9. Excelsior Geyser - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Excelsior_Geyser

    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 ...
