Greetings fellow Gazers!

I went searching for the air date of BBC's program "Supervolcano" which
was discussed earlier. It had aired on BBC Two which I do not get
through Dish Network. I just heard back from BBC and it will air on the
Discovery Channel in April. They do not have a set date as yet.

Best,

Tamsen

"If the Grand Canon of the Yellowstone
is one of the crowning works of Nature, 
so is the Grand Canon Hotel, set out here
many long miles from railway transportation, 
one of the crowning works of man. 
For here, where bear and elk and deer 
roam at will, where the face of Nature 
has not been changed by human hands,
where the wild noises of the forest are 
heard at night, has been built one of the
magnificent public houses of the world."

--Gerrit Fort, 1912

Here is a link to an interesting site I found recently:

http://gallery.unl.edu

The following is a historic photograph of Spike Geyser at Heart Lake. It is 
mislabeled as "Pearl Geyser" in the index and seems also to be 
mislabeled on the original plate.

http://gallery.unl.edu/picinfo/7091.html

Here is an old photograph of Union Geyser. Note the heavy beading on 
the central cone, the wet formation, and the stick jammed into the 
smallest cone. Damn vandals were at it already in the 1870's.

http://gallery.unl.edu/picinfo/7105.html

And two of Rustic Geyser. Note the appearance of the crater of 
"Composite Geyser" in the background of the second photograph; the 
crater looks partly empty.

http://gallery.unl.edu/picinfo/7099.html
http://gallery.unl.edu/picinfo/7100.html

I have had a bit of fun looking things up on this site. There are quite a few 
other geyser photographs, including one of Vent Geyser (?) mislabeled as 
Sawmill. The nice thing is that they have a lot of photographs here that 
don't usually make it into the standard Yellowstone history texts.

Hello

We do not usually comment because we are so far away that nothing we say is
relevant! However we thought we should say something about the BBC2
programme. There was indeed a programme about "Supervolcanoes". But it
was aired in February 2000 and is definitely not the same programme that
they were filming in Yellowstone recently. The BBC were going to show a
docudrama about the volcano in Yellowstone and there were due to be two
accompanying programmes on BBC. But they have postponed the showing of
these programmes following the Tsunami disaster on 26th December 2004. They
did indicate that the programmes would be shown but did not give a date.

I have obviously no idea what will be aired on the Discovery Channel in
April but if there is only one programme being shown it may be the older
one.

Best wishes

Tricia Miller

Hi Tamsen--

Could you let us know when you have spotted the airtime in the schedule? I
don't have my satellite hooked up anymore, so I don't look at the schedule.
If I kind of have an idea of when to start looking for it, I can invade my
friends' house when it comes on! I'm in Casper, BTW. Thanks!

Cindy Rose
