Plume Geyser Details

Erupting regularly ever 50 minutes, this geyser displays 3 to 5 25-foot bursts of water that surges from a small vent located relatively close to the boardwalk in Upper Geyser Basin, so close that the water from the eruption can be felt when the wind blows. This is one of the youngest geysers in Yellowstone National Park, created in 1922, when an underground steam explosion opened a new vent in the basin.
