Bearclaw Geyser (27 May 2021)
Geysers are hot springs that episodically erupt columns of water. They occur in few places on Earth. The highest concentration of geysers anywhere is at the Yellowstone Hotspot Volcano (northwestern Wyoming, USA).
Bearclaw Geyser is a small feature in the Fountain Group of Yellowstone’s Lower Geyser Basin. It is located 8 meters south-southwest of Twig Geyser’s vent. Bearclaw erupts from two vents, but this area formerly had four vents (see: http://rcn.montana.edu/Images/View.aspx?id=32116). A third, eastern “vent” occasionally steams. Activity at Bearclaw Geyser includes gurgling, small spitting, and small eruptions with heights of less than one foot (usually only several inches high). Gray, irregularly pustulose geyserite surrounds each vent.
Clips 1-3 - Bearclaw Geyser in eruption from 11:44 AM to 11:48 AM on 27 May 2021.
Clips 4-12 - Bearclaw Geyser’s 12:00 noon to 12:09 PM eruption on 27 May 2021. (time stamp 1:09)
