| Grand Prismatic Spring (left) and Excelsior Geyser (right). Grand Prismatic Spring displays a stunning rainbow of colors created by species of thermophilac (heat-loving) bacteria that thrive in narrow temperature ranges. The blue water in the center is too hot to support any bacterial life, while the outer orange rings are the coolest water. Grand Prismatic Spring is the largest spring in the United States and the third-largest in the world. Midway Geyser Basin. Geothermal Features Photo.

Image ID: 07179 Location: Upper Geyser Basin, Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming, USA | A rainbow appears in the spray of Riverside Geyser as it erupts over the Firehole River. Riverside is a very predictable geyser. Its eruptions last 30 minutes, reach heights of 75 feet and are usually spaced about 6 hours apart. Upper Geyser Basin.

| Morning Glory Pool has long been considered a must-see site in Yellowstone. At one time a road brought visitors to its brink. Over the years they threw coins, bottles and trash in the pool, reducing its flow and causing the red and orange bacteria to creep in from its edge, replacing the blue bacteria that thrive in the hotter water at the center of the pool. The pool is now accessed only by a foot path. Upper Geyser Basin. Photograph of Geothermal Features.

It reaches a overflowing boiling state every few minutes, then subsides a bit before building to a boil and overflow again. Upper Geyser Basin. Geothermal Features Photos.

| A crowd enjoys watching Old Faithful geyser at peak eruption. Professional stock photos of Geothermal Features. Image ID: 13363 Location: Upper Geyser Basin, Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming, USA | Riverside Geyser at peak eruption, arcing over the Firehole River. Riverside is a very predictable geyser.

Image ID: 13366 Location: Upper Geyser Basin, Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming, USA | A visitor videotapes the eruption of Lion Geyser, with Old Faithful Inn visible in the distance. Lion Geyser, whose eruption is preceded by a release of steam that sounds like a lion roaring, erupts just once or a few times each day, reaching heights of up to 90 feet. Upper Geyser Basin.

| Daisy Geyser erupting with visitors visible in the distance.. Daisy Geyser, a cone-type geyser that shoots out of the ground diagonally, is predictable with intervals ranging from 120 to over 200 minutes. It reaches heights of 75 feet, lasts 3 to 4 minutes and rarely erupts in concert with nearby Splendid Geyser. Upper Geyser Basin. Geothermal Features Picture. Image ID: 13382 Location: Upper Geyser Basin, Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming, USA | Sawmill Geyser erupting. Sawmill Geyser is a fountain-type geyser and, in some circumstances, can be erupting about one-third of the time up to heights of 35 feet. Upper Geyser Basin.

Anemone Geyser cycles about every 7 minutes. First the pools fills, then overflows, then bubbles and splashes before erupting. The eruption empties the pools and the cycle begins anew.

| Castle Geyser erupts, reaching 60 to 90 feet in height and lasting 20 minutes. While Castle Geyser has a 12 foot sinter cone that took 5,000 to 15,000 years to form, it is in fact situated atop geyserite terraces that themselves may have taken 200,000 years to form, making it likely the oldest active geyser in the park.

Grand Geyser is a fountain-type geyser reaching 200 feet in height and lasting up to 12 minutes. Grand Geyser is considered the tallest predictable geyser in the world, erupting about every 12 hours. It is often accompanied by burst or eruptions from Vent Geyser and Turban Geyser just to its left. Upper Geyser Basin. Professional stock photos of Geothermal Features.

Image ID: 13484 Location: Norris Geyser Basin, Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming, USA | Clepsydra Geyser erupts almost continuously, reaching heights of feet. Its name is Greek for water clock, since at one time it erupted very regularly with a three minute interval. Lower Geyser Basin. Geothermal Features Photo. Image ID: 13532 Location: Lower Geyser Basin, Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming, USA | White Dome Geyser rises to a height of 30 feet or more, and typically erupts with an interval of 15 to 30 minutes.

| Pink Cone Geyser erupts. Pink Cone Geyser reaches 30 feet in height, and has highly variable interval and duration. It is a cone-type geyser and its cone has a pinkish tint due to manganese oxide in it. Firehole Lake Drive, Lower Geyser Basin, Yellowstone Park. Stock Photography of Geothermal Features.

| Crested Pool is a blue, superheated pool. Unfortunately, it has claimed a life. It reaches a overflowing boiling state every few minutes, then subsides a bit before building to a boil and overflow again. Upper Geyser Basin. Photograph of Geothermal Features.
