Yellowstone 1953 | White Dome Geyser

Yellowstone 1953 | White Dome Geyser  White Dome Geyser, located in the Lower Geyser Basin only a few feet from Firehole Lake Drive, is a cone-type geyser.  Its 12-foot-high geyserite cone is one of the largest in the park. Although Its eruptions are unpredictable, they generally occur within intervals of 15 minutes to 3 hours.  Intervals between 20 and 35 minutes are common with 30 feet high eruptions typically lasting 2 to 3 minutes.  Obviously, it erupted for my relatives in 1953 when they captured this image.  To learn more about Yellowstone in 1953, see Yellowstone 1953 | a 7 Image Story.
