Giantess Geyser Details

Known for extremely infrequent, violent eruptions, it's easy to see how this enormous geyser earned its name. Part of the Upper Geyser Basin, it erupts only 2 to 6 times a year, shooting multiple water bursts over 200 feet in the air, followed by a tremendous steam phase. When not erupting, it simply appears as a small, sloped cone surrounded by mineralized earth and a few steaming pools of shallow water.
