[Geysers] FW: VOLCANO: Recent images of unusually extensive and active Dallol hot springs

[Bill Johnson]

I suspect I'm not the only geyser gazer on Arizona State University's
VOLCANO mailing list, so this may be old news to many of us, but probably
not to all.  The images of "geysers" are almost at the bottom of the cited
web page.  (Notice the one that's canary yellow.)  I have no opinion as to
whether these things constitute real "geysers" or not, but either way,
they're plenty interesting.

 

Now if the "geyser" in our garage, resulting from a burst pipe after that
hideous storm roared through last week, would stop acting like a perpetual
spouter, and go as long before its next eruption as the similarly-sized
Steamboat has, life would be good.

Dear Volcano community,

I have added 30 images to the bottom section of my Dallol page showing the
unusually impressive state of the Hot Springs at the end of January 2011.
Due to heavy rainfall in past months, increased ground water levels have
apparently led to higher input into the geothermal system. As a result,
the central depression on Dallol mound was largely filled with geothermal
waters and extensive areas were occupied by active springs and fumaroles.
Even minor geysering activity could be observed.
