PEANOT (2026)
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 in northwestern Wyoming, USA.
“PEANOT” is the horrible designation given to a minor fountain-type geyser in the Fountain Group of Yellowstone’s Lower Geyser Basin. The term is an acryonym for “Pool East And North Of Twig”. PEANOT has an northeast-to-southwest elongated basin that is 7 meters long and 3 to 4 meters across. Despite the acronym, PEANOT is 14 meters nearly due east of Twig Geyser. PEANOT has two vents: a ~centrally-located main vent and a smaller vent about 1 meter northeast of the main vent. The geyser varies from being an empty basin, with no visible water, to moderately water-filled, to overflowing. Runoff drains to the northwest. Observed activity consists of non-energetic bubbling and roiling to low- to moderate-sized splashing eruptions.
Sections with annoying hominid vocalizations have been muted.
