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.
