Giantess Geyser Erupts for First Time in Years

Some news for the geyser gazers scoring from home: Giantess Geyser has erupted for the first time in more than two years, according to Yellowstone National Park officials.

Ranger Cathy Bell posted the news on her Twitter feed:


Giantess Geyser is in the Upper Geyser Basin and was once recording eruptions every six months or so, but it’s been quiet in recent years. As befits the name, Giantess Geyser is pretty noisy when erupting and is known for a large spout some 200 feet high. In this case, Giantess erupted for some 40 hours before simmering down.
