Karen, The September 12, 1099 eruption of Giant was a Mastiff function, with Mastiff going to at least 100 feet. It was preceded by a normal hot period, with full activity from the platform vents, then Mastiff surging, but then Mastiff kept climbing even after Giant started. Lynn Stephens

LOL!!!

OMG do not denigrate your skills or the quality of the image!!
This is stunning and glorious and we all sat with our mouths
hanging open watching it. OK, drooling. Makes me wish gazers had a
saying for geysers they've either never seen or missed for
extended periods, similar to "Next year in Jerusalem" (said at
Passover as a Jewish tradition).
One question: With a Mastiff Function, is there not much going on
in the platform vents at the time Mastiff takes off? Do you get
sort of a normal hot period, and this starts as the platform vents
die down or do Feather and friends just not start?

Re: [Geysers] Mastiff
Function Giant?
Years
ago I made a short edited
video of the September 27,
1997 eruption of Giant.
Try as I might, I can't
find a copy of it. As a
substitute I took my
recording of the beginning
of the eruption, trimmed
it, and uploaded it to
Youtube.

It was
a cool, steamy morning,
the sun was obscured by
clouds, and the cameraman
was incompetent. However,
it does give one a sense
of scale.

Just
writing to ask if
anyone has footage of
a Giant Mastiff
Function eruption?
I've found the one
that lasts about 4:41
seconds (you can
*really* hear Rocco in
the background) on YT,
but it's so steamy you
can't quite see water
till Giant actually
starts, and it's
difficult to
appreciate the height.
Sorry, getting greedy
in my old age; I was
so sure we'd get a
Giant in August or
September (or, you
know, Giantess...)
Thanks,
Karen Webb
