[Geysers] Is this Improbable Geyser?

[Michael Goldberg]

Yes, this is the (officially unnamed) feature now known as "Improbable
Geyser."  Prior to the eruptive episode in October 2005, it was a shallow
dry crater with a bit of splashing mostly confined within the vent, and 
a handful of people had called it by the name "Pathetic Little Hole" since 
at least the early 1990s.

Which shows once again that descriptive names, no matter how fitting they 
seem at the time, tend to become inaccurate if you wait long enough.
