Crater of the Giant Geyser
Photographer
Likely, Mark Jefferson
Description
A man's looks into the crater of the Giant Geyser in Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming. The geyser is a cone type geyser that erupts infrequently but can reach 250 ft. when it does erupt. The cone is approximately 12 ft. tall and is surrounded by a mineral deposit field. Trees grow on the edge of the mineral field because most other vegetation is killed from the sediments in the water of the erupting geysers. Dead trees can be seen in the background.
