[Geysers] Geyser Report-Norris June 1

[Mike Keller]

PORCELAIN BASIN:

 

The ice cone is almost completely gone from Guardian Geyser.  It is still in
an impressive steam phase.

 

The finger vents in Ledge were erupting every couple of minutes to a few
feet.

 

Arsenic Geyser erupted every 3 to 22 minutes reaching from 1 to 4 feet.

 

Blue Geyser is full and overflowing heavily, but it does not appear to be
erupting.

 

One closed interval on Constant Geyser was 38 minutes.

 

There is a fairly large (4 to 6 feet high) perpetual spouter playing in the
flats about 70 yards behind Pinwheel Geyser in the middle of Porcelain
Basin.

 

BACK BASIN:

 

I spent 90 minutes watching Steamboat.  The minor play was 61% concerted.
The largest play from the North Vent was about 15 feet high and from the
South Vent about 20 feet high.  The volume of water in most of the minors
was impressive, and the play from the North Vent is more vertical than I
have seen it in sometime.  The runoff was fairly steady and when Steamboat
had periods of strong minor play it is fairly impressive when watched from
the footbridge at the base of the hill.

 

Echinus has definitely erupted in the past few days.  There is a fair amount
of fresh wash along its basin.  It was in overflow and gently bubbling in
the 25 minutes I watched it today.

 

Pearl Geyser is not erupting, but its basin is full and overflowing.  The
perpetual spouter across the trail to the south was active, reaching from 1
to 3 feet.

 

Vixen Geyser looked inactive.

 

One closed interval on Corporal Geyser was 22 minutes.

 

Monarch Geyser was 1004ie, duration greater than 14 minutes.  The largest
boils reached about 3 feet.

 

Forgotten Fumarole is still active, but is much weaker than noted last
month.  Closed intervals ranged from 9 to 14 minutes, but the eruptions are
only reaching 2 to 6 feet.
