Description: 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 in northwestern Wyoming, USA. Clepsydra Geyser is the most active member of the Lower Geyser Basin’s Fountain Group. It’s multivent cone has attractive, yellow-stained geyserite. Clepsydra has been in near-constant eruptive activity since the 1959 Hebgen Lake Earthquake. Pauses in Clepsydra often occur at the end of an eruption from nearby Fountain Geyser.
