Steamboat Geyser (2018)
Geysers are hot springs that episodically erupt columns of water. They occur in few places on Earth. The highest concentration of geysers anywhere is at the Yellowstone Hotspot Volcano (northwestern Wyoming, USA).
Steamboat Geyser is located in the Back Basin of Yellowstone’s Norris Geyser Basin. Major eruptions of Steamboat Geyser are the tallest in the world. This feature first appeared on 11 August 1878 after a hydrothermal explosion. This was similar to, but larger than, the 5 September 1989 Porkchop Geyser hydrothermal explosion event, which occurred in the same geyser basin. Steamboat Geyser consists of two vents in a gentle hillside of rhyolitic ash-flow tuff (Lava Creek Tuff, lower Middle Pleistocene, 640 ka). Initially, the vents were powerful fumaroles that emitted steam and some mud. By 1879, moderately high to high geyser eruptions occurred. Small to large eruptions occurred at Steamboat Geyser from the late 1870s to the early 1910s, after which was a half-century of dormancy. Geyser eruptions resumed in the 1960s, followed by dormancy during the early and mid-1970s. More major eruptions occurred in the early 1980s, and only sporadic to rare activity from the mid-1980s to the 2000s. Three major eruptions occurred in May 2005, end-July 2013, and September 2014. Steamboat entered an active phase in spring 2018 and was remarkable for having semi-regular major eruptions (about once a week) in May to June 2018.
Major eruptions of Steamboat Geyser have fountains of water reaching over 100 feet high. The tallest spikes reach over 400 feet - the highest on Earth. Major eruptions do not occur at regular intervals and thus are not predictable. The water phases of Steamboat’s major eruptions are about 3 to 40 minutes long, followed by hours of roaring fumarole activity (steam phase).
Normal activity at Steamboat Geyser consists of frequent splashing spouts that reach about 10 to 60 feet high - these are called minor eruptions. Emitted water at Steamboat Geyser is somewhat acidic and quite hot.

What a rare opportunity you had . I would love to see it in person.. It is just awesome. Thank you so much for sharing the experience.
Thank you sooooo much for posting this. I have seen hundreds of eruptions but nothing like this. This is very impressive and important footage.
Awesome video!Thank You for posting.
I live in Cody, Wyoming and I've been to Steamboat before... of course I've never seen it blow. Until now. Great footage, great video... very nicely done.
bro i just passed through Cody and it was mad sketchy
@@palomat986 Cody in the summer...
No voice-over, no music, thank you!
Great video!! I was there for the 9th eruption! Thanks for sharing!!
what an incredible sight!! Awesome video!!
Thanks for sharing this amazing video!
If you've never witnessed this happening, even on video, it's well worth the full watch. Being my first time it brings a strong sense of fear making me wonder about preparedness.
Elaine Stanisch truth
Elaine Stanisch preparedness is always a good thing!
I don't think there is any way to prepare for a yellowstone eruption. Except maybe, move to Europe.
Yes get right with Jesus, then you won’t have to fear
@Jerry C I think he's just talking about the raw power of geysers. Especially steamboat. The sound it makes is awesome yet terrifying at the Same time. I haven't seen one in person but this video gives me a taste of what it's like.
I was in Yellowstone in May 2018 although we missed Steamboat Geyser erupting it is a spectacular place. It is so alive and breathtaking. Thank you for sharing your footage, it is truly amazing.
Wow, Thank you for sharing.
Excellent footage. Thanks!
fascinating! Thanks for posting
That's a lot of pressure being released!
Fantastic Video.... Thank You
Thank you so very much for posting. This may be the most beautiful video I have ever seen. I've stood at the boardwalk in front of the great geyser a half a dozen times and all it did was to tease. You're so lucky to have seen this rare natural event. Thank you again for including the world in your experience.
Thanks for the kind comments. Steamboat is still having eruptions this fall - about once a week, currently. Was only able to bag one eruption this past summer. Other geyser fans have bagged multiple Steamboat eruptions so far. Hope it's still active in 2019 - would like to videodocument it under different lighting conditions & from different perspectives. The tossed rocks were amazing. One landed near me while filming.
ok u can add the tea now, teapots whistling
Wonderful video, the joy in the crowd is a nice statement of the awesome experience. You must have some great equipment, you certainly had great technique. Thanks for sharing.
You know, watching this, I have to think of Steamboat as something of the Anti-Giant. They have their similarities. Both basically never have a major eruption below 200ft tall, both have 2 vents, both are cone type features. But, that’s where the similarities end.
Giant is elegant. Though it has 2 vents, they act as one in eruption to create on massive column to the sky. The behavior feel almost lazy, effortless in a way. You can feel that giant is very used to giving it its all, and has done so basically since forever of its cone is any indication. It’s an old feature. Its plumbing system too is highly stable. It constantly splashes in a heated but gentle manner, as though to say, “I’m still alive.” Its displays are long and consistent. Similarly, action from giant rarely appears to negatively effect other features. It joins and supports it own complex, and helps supply at least one or two neighboring complexes as well. The image that comes to my mind is that of a graceful, aging king. Aging but not old, with many years left, a sharp mind, and quite a bit of strength to show. This strength is refined into a precision art, and kindness supersedes this rulers need to show off itself.
Steamboat has no such reservations. It too is near constantly splashing, but not in the gentle fashion giant shows. It feels much more aggressive, the minor eruptions can reach rather tall heights. It only directly relates to one spring, cistern spring, which is only used as a water source. It has no positive nor negative effect on the basin at large, but the Norris Disturbance may be triggered by steamboat. This is good for some springs, bad for others. All in all a wash. It has no stable cone, it’s too young. Similarly, it does not show Giant’s grace and beauty. No, the rocks flying, the twin columns almost angrily being nozzled into the sky, it’s a scene of violence, destruction. Less warning to the eruptions, everything. The image Steamboat brings to mind is that of a teenage emperor. Temperamental, aggressive, with too much power to be anything resembling stable. It tries, sure, but it struggles. It does its best to subjegate those around it, but just just succeeds in isolating itself as it tries to find stability in power it doesn’t yet know what to do with.
There are other geysers that are long gone or mostly inactive. Iceland’s geysir spends too much time dormant. Semi-Centennial, Excelsior, and the king of them all: Waimangu have all passed into extinction. I wonder how I would have described them…
Wow beautiful
Thank you for sharing.
worlds most intense pressure washer !!
Thanks for the video and great videography of Steamboat erupting. I wonder with all the debris and sinter that was thrown out if that was the last in this long eruptive period of Steamboat Geyser. Thanks again.
Yes great video thanks.
Beautiful
Nice catch!
AWESOME video!!
Thank you for showing us the beauty of Yellowstone
Appreciate the kind comment. I enjoy doing this sort of thing. Wish I could stay at Yellowstone longer each year to collect footage of & document more features.
Thanks
I have seen this in person.... it was awesome!
merci de nous avoir fait profiter de ce phénomène spectaculaire !
i wish i saw this i was there around the 13 in july never been there it was throwing up small eruptions when i was there. what a beautiful park it made us all think .WHAT THE HELL ARE WE STANDING OVER WHAT THE HELL IS UNDER OUR FEET?? awesome place
Absolutely Breath Taking!!!
That is a lot of sustained power - Great Video. Thank you for sharing
That's not a geyser popping off....thats a mini eruption....damn good catch.....
Neo Bailey lmao
so much immense power under that volcano. you couldn't pay me to be anywhere near yellowstone these days. Great video though!!
Awesome!
WOW.............just wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Pretty cool!
Spectacular and sobering.
Something has really changed under Yellowstone this is the 11th eruption of Steamboat this year
Paul Page so explain 1964? It's nothing alarming.
Jerry C exactly.
Paul Page Yes, its called nature. Our planet is dynamic, not static. It is forever in a state of change, not stagnation. The planet MUST move. After all, we are only riding on huge tiles or plates floating on liquid molten rock. Many things effect that liquid rock. As long as non of those plates decides to flip over. If that happened, game over.
19th
Does anyone know the total eruption time for both the high water fountain and then the roaring steam that followed? I was there when it blew in the mid 1960's at 4AM. It was still ejecting water at sunrise, then blew steam hard well after lunch. Not sure if the recent eruptions are as long as the historic eruptions.
See the caption below the video for details.
This is incredible. Went to yellowstone this summer and wanted to see steamboat, but it’s been pretty dormant so I couldn’t see it
It's tough to catch. I've seen it once. Some geyser folks have seen it erupt quite a few times.
Imagine that supervolcano erupting, the world would suddenly become such a peaceful place.
Been to Yellowstone, nothing else there comes close to that display.
The steam near old faithful irritated my eyes big time.
Father the sleeper has awaken LOL
No, that's just a beautiful rare geyser eruption. Yellowstone caldera is really quiet right now. volcanoes.usgs.gov/observatories/yvo/
This was a month ago, I wonder if the rocks have increased in size, or amounts. How big is the build up of rocks around the geyser vent now ?
Nice 👍🏽
What do you think would happen if the walls of this geyser collapse in and blocks the geyser or any of the other geysers ? Look at how dirty the water is as it comes to the surface . Does it look like something is happening deep under ground to make these changes in the geysers ? I do .
Steamboat has been dormant for so long I suspect it's chuck full of accumulated guck. More than likely it's blowing out all that sediment that's accumulated over the decades.
if that were the case, the dirt and rocks would be picked up on the OUTSIDE Edge of the steam blast which is what they would initially run into, not the CENTER of the steam blast... unless your telling us that the dirty water somehow finds it's way past this violent explosion... go study up on some physics
there's been some theorizing that Steamboat's majors are so powerful they actually do damage the internal plumbing on occasion, leading to the long dormancies (while the plumbing is "repaired" with silica deposits). not sure what the frequency over the last couple years does to those theories.
I like the steam phase after the eruption. It can last for hours. If this follows the pattern in the sixties there should be frequent eruptions for the next two years after this one.
Powerful wow. Its a lot of pressure. It almost seems as it controlling the weather
Absolutely insane power. I imagine an underground river pouring water over a hot magma heat zone or something like that, causing it to build steam like it does. That's what I envision anyway. Or, maybe the magma is rising and finding its way to higher levels of water...that wouldn't be good. Trouble comes when the water stops and nothing but hot air drifts out of the hole in the ground.
That is so much better than old faithful.
That's AWESOME! A release of more pressure is good thing. It's entertainment and a source of revenue for the area.
Great video. Viewers, please don't assume. While the power displayed is awesome, it does not portent imminent eruptions of the super volcano. Please keep in perspective that this is less than .00001 percent (and I am probably off by another several zeroes) of the power of the magma reserve. In other words, this is a burp.
Thanks for the video I never could go west. It is beautiful.
Is this always this massive & high reaching in altitude? Is this anywhere remotely close to normal or has this happened before & for this length of time??? TY
Most eruptions exceed 250ft and the largest (several decades back) neared 400. Is this normal? Yes and no. This year has been exceptionally active, but its history has always been irregular. There were no eruptions between 1911 and 1961. There were 70 between 1961 and 1966 (1964 has 29 eruptions alone). Then there were none between '78 and '81, then 22 eruptions in '82. And so on. Exceptional year? Yup. Anything out of the normal pattern of eruptive cycles? Not really.
At about 6:12, a chunk of material is seen falling from the column, and I presume it was a chunk of geyserite being launched after the eruption blew out a part of the cone.
Chunks can be seen being launched and falling throughout the video - yes, they are pieces of material from the subsurface conduit, ripped from the walls by the force of the erupting water.
Nice video
What dose it matter when Yellow stone blows if you are in the kill zone you can`t drive fast enough to get out of it or fly .
i live in the kill zone, and with a thousand mile circle of it .
There have been some speculations if the quake in 1959 was the start of it .
I did read some where where Yellowstone has risen a few inches over the past years . Don`t know if that is true or not as well as it was stated that magma has been seen oozing out in certain areas ,. Only ones that know for sure are the park rangers since they can go where the park has been shut down .
What the video can't show is that Steamboat roars, rumbles and shakes the ground. We had no idea what the noise was, but noticed that the rangers were grinning and running toward the noise. We followed, and there she blew!
That must be super hot🤔
When did that Geyser subside?
Never been there, no idea if rocks are the norm when it goes off. If not, then it may be tiny cooled lava balls, but more likely just small pebbles in the wall being blasted out, erosion due to the pressure. Like a high pressure washer on concrete. The more it happens the more it will happen. The opening may get larger until it finally stops and becomes a hot spring.
Wow I never thought of steamboat becoming a hot spring, but that makes total sense.
Oh damn that's some extreme pressure! Rocks being thrown concerns me though. Is it drying up?
No those rocks are from around the edge
Lime a dry cough, where it makes the throat sore?
He vivido 10años en pozos Geotérmicos, y lo que veo es una manifestación Thermal, común en una grieta en el subsuelo, mientras esté desfoganfo en esa forma no se tiene problema, ya que está liberando la energía que se acumula, conviene medir los tiempos en que se recupera y se abate, para estudiar su comportamiento, por otro lado es común medir el PH de las aguas si aumentan los valores de acido hasta 3, entonces si se está incrementando la energía calorífica, estás aguas por lo regular andan del orden de 75 grados centígrados, cuando eruptando la grieta si aumenta hay peligro si se mantiene no hay porque tener.
Arturo Rosas Ah gracias por la informacion. Luego la agua tiene acido, no es bueno cuando hay lluveia
Is more then steam .its like bulding fury with in in snd blowing it up
GOOD GOD !!! 😱
Wow
My biggest question is,where does all the water come from,to blow off like this? How deep,in this area,is the magma? It's fascinating to watch. Thanks for video.
Polly A water reservoir is under ground in the caldera above the magma.
Snow melt feeds the water table
I was wondering the same thing. As I've never been to yellowstone. This is truly remarkable.
Could they just be loose rocks and breaking off from the pressure?
Amy R its either that or iim thinking it may even be the rocks bring heated up froma magma and breaking apart
Stop trying to be rational, the cookoos want to believe yellowstone is close to erupting.
Hi Amy, rocks do fall into and near the geyser opening in-between eruptions, along with leaves and branches. This being the most powerful geyser in the world, all of those pieces of debris get fired out during eruptions. I'd imagine that the longer time in-between eruptions, the more debris gets into the plumbing. There are rare phreatic events where magma does come near the surface flash-boiling ground water that explodes the land above. But, such magmatic intrusions are always preceded by earthquakes. Since the Yellowstone caldera is currently very quiet in terms of earthquakes, there is nothing to fear. This is just Steamboat putting on its normal, beautiful show. volcanoes.usgs.gov/observatories/yvo/
Hello,
i'am a creative from the Citizen program TRENDING TRANS 7 Indonesia, we want to ask for permission publish this video in our event. And we will also include the name of this channel in the broadcast as a form of information obtained. Thank you
Yes - you may use the geyser video.
Earth Science EGCC sent me here
White steam everyone was like "Yay"... Dark steam dead silence.
Jerry C 😂
is it normal for this geyser to be active for such a long time?
Steamboat is a juvenile geyser - it has not existed very long. It first appeared in the late 1800s. It has not had very many active phases, but now is one of those rare occasions. If you're talking about Steamboat having many eruptions over the past several months - yes, it has done this before, decades ago. If you're talking about the duration of this particular eruption (= 32 minutes) - that is a bit on the long side. Some Steamboat eruptions are less than 10 minutes long, in terms of the water phase. A recent eruption had a very unusual 43 minute-long water phase.
You are so lucky
is that black thing lava?
No lava here. The site being backlit by the Sun gives a false impression of colors here. The bedrock at Steamboat Geyser (see caption under the video) is Pleistocene-aged volcanic tuff - a solidified ash deposit.
👍👍👍
things are happening all over volcanoes earthquakes sinkholes etc etc etc .
How long did this last
See the caption below the video. The water phase was 32 minutes. Steam phase lasted many hours.
HOLY MOLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Barbarawoods62 -Indeed !! 🤨
I wonder how many gallons of water that thing just blew out ?!
I blow out more than that😝
@@deltaforce3702 lol...you crazy lol!
I think that under Steamboat Geyser the Magma meets the Water directly, Bursting Magma Bubbles in the Water rip out small stones upwarts through the Vent. Maybe somebody should Carry those Rocks who were spit out and Analyze them.
The rocks being thrown out by Steamboat Geyser are from physical erosion of the conduit system during major eruptions. Published research has shown that there are two water reservoirs - a shallow one and a deeper, hotter one. Both are heated by the surrounding hot, solid bedrock. Magma is far, far below these aquifers.
I am really unlucky
When I went to Yellowstone it turned out that steamboat had a major eruption about a week or two before I went and then about a week or two after we left steamboat had another major eruption.
At least vixen geyser was cool.
Getting Steamboat can be a challenge. I was lucky. I waited one full day, plus a couple hours the next day. That one day was very tedious and uncomfortable, however. Yes - Vixen is a nice geyser. Try to remember: appreciate what you can see and do & don't be bummed about what you can't.
I am still kind of bummed out about not seeing steamboat geyser erupt but to make up for it, I witnessed a part of giantess geysers eruption today
So loud sounds like fissure s in Hawaii.
Cute
👍👏👏👏👊🏻
Steam plus plent of MUD coming out here! The mud falls back down again, unlike the steam.
I've seen 2 other channels taking your video and making it their own. One has like 28k views so it's taking away from this video...
Almost all of my online postings are "public domain/creative commons" - videos, photos, write-ups/captions. I'm an educator, so I don't mind if my nature/science stuff gets spread around. I don't get compensation from YT or elsewhere, so nothing's being taken from me.
Good to know. Thanks for spreading the wealth.
jsj1771 Great video, Thanks!
jsj1771 What is your opinion on this? Do you think it will erupt? I live in the ring of fire between Mt St Helens and Mt Hood, which is over due to erupt. Thanks again
Will Yellowstone have a major ash eruption anytime soon? Definitely no. Just relax & enjoy the beautiful park. Volcanoes don't erupt on timetables. They're not like metronomes, even though Yellowstone has a a somewhat long-scale periodicity. St. Helens is most likely gonna have future small eruptions that will affect the local area only. A 1980 scale eruption probably won't be for a while - and that one was relatively small, compared with other historical volcanoes. Mt. Hood erupts irregularly. It will very likely provide many unambiguous physical warning signs before major activity.
I'd whoop a grizzly bear with a stick for Saturday night fun. This scares me some
Are geysers underground water boiled by volcanos?? Can anybody confirm in this way water is produced on earth?? From clouds to rain??
In some volcanic areas on Earth, groundwater is sufficiently heated to result in geysers forming. Many other factors are also involved. In terms of your 2nd question, you'll have to be more specific - are you talking about the general origin of water on Earth? If so, volcanic degassing in Earth's earliest history is the standard explanation. Other likely sources of water include impacting comets (some have isotopic compositions dissimilar to Earth's seawater, while others have similar compositions) and impacts or grazing impacts of water-rich asteroids ("aquarioids"), which are rare in the modern Solar System, but may have been common long, long ago.

Ojo parece broma pero cuidado yellowstone
Ojo quizas se forme un volcan como paricutin méxico asi empeso vapor
Accented by the din of drivel from unimpressed bystanders for whom mother nature's efforts here are insufficient to instill awe. Jaded? Ignorant? Perhaps suburban. Many thanks to the camera.
Why is it so dark? Pollution? Global warming? GetAAl Gore! I jest. I’m an amateur. Doesn’t that mean there is magma pressure coming from below?
Two hypotheses have been suggested. Some Norris Back Basin geyser eruptions in past years have also involved darker-colored, turbid water (= mixed with fine-grained sediments - "muddy") in later stages of various eruptions. Steamboat appears to be doing the same thing during this 4 June 2018 event. Another hypothesis is that the muddy-looking water is being expelled after being washed in from uphill during the earlier parts of this very eruption. I prefer the 1st hypothesis. The quantity of eroded material from uphill seems way too insufficient to explain the sheer volume of dark-colored water during this eruption. Muddy surface water is unlikely to get successfully or quickly washed into the northern vent anyway during such an energetic eruption.
This is a beautifully impressive display of nature. Now it's time for the doomsayers to go running for the scriptures and uninformed assumptions. Run,, RUN I tell you, there'll be signs, gnashing of teeth and an assortment of other mindless drivel. I tried cooking a couple of chickens on this thing & now I have to walk half a mile to get my dinner back. RUN.
That's all she's got haha
people are just funny... so much negative of thoughts wanting a big show...that when it happens they all start to scream...well don't mess with mother nature...she owns our soul when on Earth.
Public Announcement: The Yellowstone caldera is not showing any signs of erupting anytime soon due to the lack of earthquake activity which always precedes magmatic eruptions. This is a beautiful video that shows a normal, beautiful water eruption from the biggest geyser in the world and in no way indicates any dangerous activity from the volcano. I know it may be exciting to imagine what it would be like during a super-volcanic eruption, but openly speculating may unnecessarily alarm certain people, thus my suggestion is to research the real, current state of any volcano before writing anything.

Oh no STEAM boat is letting out steam were going to die.... (sarcasm for anyone who thinks I'm serious right now)
👍👍👍
