| Yellowstone's Geyser Erupted Eight Times in Less than Three Months, Scientists Intrigued
The Steamboat Geyser holds the record for the tallest active geyser in the world, so when it starts acting unusually, it becomes news. The Steamboat has always been quite erratic with its eruptions as geysers are known to be. Sometimes many years pass between two eruptions, but that's not the case recently. Since March 15, there have been eight major eruptions - and scientists are intrigued by the change. The website for the US Geological Survey states that the "Steamboat has proven more active during the early 21st century than any time since the early 1980s. Between late 1991 and 2000, there were no large eruptions. However, since May 2000, Steamboat has had 10 significant eruptions." Historically, Steamboat's jets have reached heights of 90-100 meters (295-330 feet). None of these eight 2018 eruptions have been as tall as the ones from the past, but they remain spectacular. The first three eruptions were not witnessed by humans, and researchers estimated their properties from
