Castle Geyser erupts with the colorful bacteria mats of Tortoise Shell Spring in the foreground.  Castle Geyser reaches 60 to 90 feet in height and lasts 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. Upper Geyser Basin, Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming

Great Fountain Geyser erupting.  Great Fountain Geyser, a fountain-type geyser, can reach heights of 200 feet, one of the largest geysers in the world.  It has a large vent (16 feet across) situated amid wide sinter terraces that act as reflecting pools as the geyser slows fills prior to its eruption.  Its interval and duration vary widely.  It typically erupts in a series of bursts, each separately by a few minutes.  Firehole Lake Drive, Lower Geyser Basin, Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming
