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.
Near Beehive is a smaller geyser that can often be used as an indicator of a pending eruption of Beehive. This geyser, named Beehive's Indicator, sends up a 6-to-15-foot (1.8 to 4.6 m) fountain between a few seconds and 30 minutes before Beehive erupts, averaging 15 to 20 minutes prior.
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.

Grey Bulger Geyser is a single geyser, which erupts out of multiple vents, which depending on the seasonal water table, erupt either continuously or intermittently. The two largest vents often reach about 2 feet (0.61 m) but sometimes surge to 6 feet (1.8 m).
Preceding an eruption, the water levels in the whole complex will generally rise. However, the geysers may erupt at any time. The geysers' eruption will become more powerful, and the water level in the complex will rise. Splashing in the river and main vents will increase, and there may be a massive surge from the east vent triggering the eruption.
Yellowstone National Park’s Steamboat Geyser erupted three times between March and April, and the National Park Service released a timelapse video of the most recent eruption on Friday, May 4.
The world's largest active geyser has erupted three times in the past six weeks at Yellowstone National Park.
Ear Spring is a hot spring in the Upper Geyser Basin of Yellowstone National Park in the United States. Located close to Old Faithful, on rare occasions Ear Spring will erupt as a geyser, and can shoot rocks and debris as well as water more than 25 feet (7.6 m) for a few minutes. On September 15, 2018, Ear Spring was seen on the National Park ...
