Hot springs are sites where groundwater emerges at the Earth’s surface (or on the seafloor). Hot spring water has to be higher in temperature than the human body (an admittedly arbitrary definition): over 98° Fahrenheit or over 37° Celsius. Geysers are hot springs that episodically erupt columns of water. The highest concentration of geysers and hot springs anywhere is in Yellowstone’s Upper Geyser Basin (northwestern Wyoming, USA).
Broken Egg Spring is a moderately small, non-erupting feature in the White Creek Group of Yellowstone’s Lower Geyser Basin. It is located along Firehole Lake Drive, 90 meters due west of Firehole Spring. It has a circular crater about 1.6 to 1.7 meters across and a subhemispherical basin. Overflow drains northward via a discrete runoff channel, which branches distally into distributaries.
