Steamboat Geyser, Yellowstone - Huge Eruption!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 21 сер 2024
- While staying in Yellowstone National Park, we wanted to buy a National Park passport book. We were told at our lodge that there was a national park bookstore in the Norris Geyser Basin that sold them.
So after driving there and buying the passport book, we decided to explore a little. One of the first places we came to was Steamboat Geyser, the world's tallest currently-active geyser.
However, it’s very unpredictable and rarely erupts, but we thought we’d hang around for a few minutes anyway. Um, it began to explode out of the blue! It erupted like that for close to an hour. You can hear me telling my wife to be prepared to run at 00:49
Afterwards, when we walked back to our car in the parking lot, our car, along with dozens of others, were coated in a hard mineral film that took quite a lot of effort to clean off (never got 100% of it off - good thing it was a rental car!)
Like winning the lottery being able to witness that one
Yeah, we were just so lucky!!
Apparently it just erupted today… I was there 2 hours earlier….
@@clibothy of course.
This is great! Shawn Willsey was talking about this geyser.
Thanks!
That brought me here. Cross-pollination!
I was there earlier today in the Norris Geyser Basin. It was amazing to see but unfortunately couldn’t see it erupt. Thanks for the amazing video!
Yea, it’s very unpredictable. We just got really lucky. A beautiful place to visit in any event!
Me and my pa went to visit here back in 19, and it was a beauty of a sight.
I remember the air smelling so fresh too with all the water vapour.
❤
It is truly incredible! Makes old faithful look like a tea kettle going off in comparison. No disrespect to old faithful, but facts are facts
Agreed! Truly a magnificent spectacle of nature!
You ain’t wrong
Facts.
A tea kettle 🤣
Spoken like a true husband/father "be prepared to run!" And then keeps filming. Love it. Thanks for sharing
Ha! Thanks!
At 2:20 and 2:30 you can see tennis ball size rocks being ejected, the chest-pounding power of seeing this in person is impossible to convey with a video but this is an awesome video, thanks for posting it
Rental car was a superb choice, I still have geyserite silical on my vehicle from 3 years ago. Judging by the direction of the plume, every car in the lot got showered on the day you were there.
I waited a total of more than 50 hours on 6 different days during 2020 and 2021 seasons before I got to witness this amazing display, and yes, at about the 2-3 min point I thought "Holy crap!!! I'm wayyyy too close"
The eruption I saw was 14 min of the "water phase" then over 24 hrs of continuous roaring "steam phase" before it settled down for another 40 days
I don't know the date of your experience but I know it wasn't the same eruption that I saw, the sky, cloud cover, and wind direction were a little different
Totally unpredictable, it can erupt 5 days later or 8 years later
Only the lucky people get to see it erupt from the initial spouts like you and I did
Congratulations and thanks for posting
Thanks very much. Yeah, I feel really lucky that we just stumbled upon this force of nature right before it erupted. It was incredible, the ground was trembling with force of this thing. Btw, the date of this was September 26, 2020.
Huge rocks fly outta that periodically…I can’t believe this thing….best video of steamboat I’ve seen
Yeah, it was crazy! What you can’t see in the video is that we could feel the ground trembling under our feet, like the whole place was going to explode!
Considering how hot that water must be, I'm amazed you're allowed to stand so close.
Thanks! Thankfully the wind was blowing away from us!
The water is actually not hot once n air at the beehive geyser you get sprain by it it is bigger than old faithful but the water is actually freezing cold once it get back down on any geyser it so cold that it takes your breath away
@@willtheslayrr This water is creating a giant cloud of steam as it erupts into the air, so it is extremely hot when it's coming out of the ground - and the people watching are very close to that.
@@hebneh yes but o eve the water from clear up there comes back down it’s safe but if the wind was blowing hard at then like really hard they would be 💀
We were so fortunate to be at the Norris geyser basin at the right time and saw the September 9, 2020 major eruption. Interestingly enough, the droplets that land on you are very cold and in the summer heat, getting soaked was a fun part of the experience. USGS advised us that the water droplets cool fast as they spend time moving through the air, decreasing the temperature significantly.
stunning footage 👍🏼 I've seen its more predictable brother Old Faithful but Steamboat is a whole nother animal WOW!
Yeah, I agree. We saw this and Old Faithful, but Steamboat is definitely in another league!
When she sees my Lego collection 1:16
Hahaha
Amazing story. Right place, right time. 👍👍👍
Thanks! Yeah, we were super lucky!!
Norris geyser basin is my absolute favorite.
We missed this one by 2 days and I was so mad. By far one of the most beautiful amazing basins in Yellowstone.
Agree that Norris geyser basin was incredible - like being on another planet!
I liked the catsle the most
Yeah, so cool.
@@mikeworldadventures Yeah when i was there it erupted for like 2 hours
Wow! That’s incredible!
0:47 This is hilarious if you imagine this is the earth taking a massive shit / piss, with them screaming “woooo you can do it!” LMAO
😂😂😂
Great video. We will be in Yellowstone in a few months. I hope we get to see this. Good job, thanks for sharing. Just subbed!
Thanks. Hope you get a chance to see this!
Was there yesterday, no eruption.
Old faithful for a reason, almost timed to the minute for eruptions.
Yellowstone is a really cool place to explore.
Like to be here when there's a lot of snow, next time.
Steamboat is so unpredictable! Glad you enjoyed Yellowstone - it’s really amazing!
So exciting 🎉happy you shared to the UA-cam 😊😊😊😊
Thanks! It was super exciting for us to get to see this!
I have never seen it like this before, must mean something is coming big. Thanks 🙏
You’re welcome! It’s pretty amazing!
Nah it occurs irregularly but often enough.
Cool
*_when she's close and asks you to keep going_*
Pretty incredible!
Don’t think I’d be standing there cheering!
The National Park Service does a great job of keeping people safe. It was an amazing experience!
I love geiser
Me too!
It would be cool to be this close to an erupting geyser, though I can imagine that the smell must be horrible at this range.
I admit it was a little scary given the power of the eruption. It felt like the ground was going to explode. Surprisingly, it didn’t have a bad odor so there must not have been much sulphur in the steam.
looks awesome 🫡
It was amazing to see!!
Amazing
It really was amazing!
Wowww!!!!
Wonderfuly amazing!!!
It was incredible to see. So lucky!
Amazing video of Steamboat, the power and intensity of the water coming out of the ground is impressive. Did you get back when the video ended? I remember that trail getting really close to the geyser, I would be nervous standing right next to that.
Yes, we were able to get back, as the wind was blowing the water/steam away from the trail. The cars in the parking lot however got a good coating of minerals!
Wow!
It was pretty amazing to see!
Old faithfull is actually a super volcano
Yea, the entire National Park is part of the Yellowstone Supervolcano!
Thanks CHEF
Now imagine this on Saturn’s moon the Enceladus except it goes non stop at 800 miles per hour
Wow - I had no idea. That’s incredible!!
And freezing cold water and ice
That’s Beautifully Terrifying
No doubt. It felt like the ground was going to explode!
@@mikeworldadventures dam but where was this shot at ?
We were standing in the observation area for Steamboat Geyser, right up front on the rail. We got really lucky because it wasn’t erupting when we got there so we could get up front, and then it started!
@@mikeworldadventures Fascinating phenomenas
Absolutely!
Just left from there 🥲
see all the black in the water, yes...ladies and gentlemen that's sulfur.
lack of sunlight and the backside shadow….? 😂
not sulfur, mud - steamboat is so powerful it ejects rocks and dirt during eruptions.
im annoyed, we missed this eruption by about 3 days...
We just got very lucky!!
@@mikeworldadventures I can tell… Some day… Last time we were there, we missed a big eruption by about a day… It erupted while we were in the park but at 6am so we were sleeping…
don't feel bad - I missed one during this active phase by 4 hours, after waiting for 6.

You know what sucks. I was here 2 days before it went off and could’ve seen it
Thanks for the comment - too bad you missed it! It’s super unpredictable - I just got incredibly lucky!
Dear Mike, ist there a chance to buy the rights from this clip for television?
Hello. Please email me at world.adventures.mike@gmail.com with details. Thank you.
This is amazing. So what day and time was this?
This was the morning of September 26, 2020. We were just really lucky to be there when it erupted. It had been about 10 days since the previous eruption so we didn’t expect to see anything at all, but after hanging around for a few minutes, well, you know the rest!
@@mikeworldadventures On my birthday
ขอบคุณชาวโลก...
Indeed! It’s an amazing place!
Fun fact! Steamboat is the largest geyser in the world
Yes, it is the world's tallest currently-active geyser!
Essa panela de pressão vai explodir
Absolutely! The power of this was actually pretty frightening!
Zoom out so we can see the whole event
Wow
That’s what we said!
Really lucky
Yes, we were so lucky! It was amazing!
2:31 Is that a camera lens cap?
Not a lens cap - that’s a rock being kicked up by the force of the geyser! Periodically there were rocks and stones shooting out!
How close are they??
You can get as close as about 15-20 feet on the nearest platform.
Like 50 ft away - its not dangerous
lindo demais
Agree!
Me after taking a lot of zinc.
LOL!
Usok po ba yan daiii 😦😦😦'
Very hot steam and dissolved minerals. An amazing sight to see!
Egy ilyen gyönyörű Gejzirt messziről kell fotózni, nem ilyen bután, hogy vagy csak a csúcsa, vagy a töve látszik! Hogy lehet valaki ennyire mafla??
Well, I guess I can! Have a great day!
You zoomed in too much...
I wanted to show the force of water/steam shooting out of the ground. It was like an enormous fire house. We could feel the ground vibrate!
Срочно уводите людей может начаться извержение амплитуда магмы очень высока
Well have protection in our land we are land
會火山噴發……
美國黃石公園超級火山即刻爆發永不停.勅到令行急急如律令勅
Thanks for your comment!
Why are these people cheering on an erupting volcano??? Sulfur and hot water. Such ignorance and recklessness. Built a house on the side of a Hawaiian mountain lately??
Thankfully the National Park Service has experts that ensure the safety of the visitors, so long as you keep to designated areas and don’t leave the marked trails!
this exact thing has been happening for thousands of years and it's amazing there's no reason they shouldn't be cheering, it's not a volcano, not even close, it's sitting on one that if it erupted we'd all be dead, this is just a cool water jet
The fact that you are unable to appreciate a wonder of nature is squarely on you.
Would be much better without the hysterical woos.
Some people had been sitting out there for hours and hours hoping to see an eruption so I get their excitement! We just got so lucky to walk up on it minutes before it went off.
@@mikeworldadventures ignore that comment - I love hearing people get excited. I was there during this hot phase and still missed it, so hearing your joy and excitement is a vicarious thrill. You should hear me when Grand Geyser decides to have a second burst. :)
Thanks @lttfan9185 - it was very exciting!
Would’ve been cool or if it starts shooting out lava
They would definitely have to move people back if that happened!
