[Geysers] Satellite Image - mysterious steam of

[Wayne Simister]

Here's a satellite image showing a yellow line leading from the Old 
Faithful web cam to the Midway Geyser basin (Grand 
Prismatic/Excelsior).  The Midway geyser group would lie approximately 
behind Old Faithful's steam.  So the large steam cloud which lies to the 
left of  Old Faithful in the web cam image of Dec. 27th is still a 
mystery. 



Yellow Line is line of sight from Old Faithful to Midway Geyser Basin's 
Excelsior Geyser

Yellow dot is the location of Grotto Geyser.  The magenta dot is 
Solitary Geyser.

-----------------------------------

Anyone have a guess what the big steam cloud is. I don't know how long 
it had been there but it was gone (covered up by the fog) about 5 
minutes later.
