[Geysers] Bubbles at Artemisia

[Graham Meech]

Thanks for all your reports this trip Lynn, they give great insight into
what is happening and what this year's group of visitors are up to also.  

 

I have to take issue with your comment that seeing Artemisia and Atomizer
erupting together is "so not cool".  Seeing both of them erupting together
would make my day :)

This morning when I arrived at Artemisia, it took me a little while before I
noticed one of the catch basins was filled with what
appeared to be soap bubbles.  Bill Warnock helped relay the information to
the VEC.  A law enforcement ranger came out to take
a few pictures.  He did not have authorization to collect a sample to
determine whether they actually were soap bubbles.  Ron and Stephen
Gemar and an interpretive ranger looked at the bubbles and agreed with me
that they appeared to be soap bubbles.  The 1326 eruption
of Artemisia washed the bubbles away.  Stephen called the eruption time on
the FRS radio.  The VEC asked whether the eruption was
producing any more bubbles, but it didn't.
 
Atomizer had its major eruption during Artemisia, which is so NOT cool
because you can't hear the steam phase of Atomizer.
