YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK NEWS RELEASE
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

*Yellowstone Geyser Eruption Predictions Now Available On Your 
Smartphone and Tablet*

The largest concentration of active geysers in the world—approximately 
half of the world’s total— is found in Yellowstone.

You can now discover the natural wonder of the most famous geyser of 
all, Old Faithful, and other geysers with a free app that you can use 
during your visit to the park and at home. The new app will help you 
find out when Old Faithful and five other predictable geysers could erupt.

The app also features a link to a webcam so that you can view live 
eruptions of Old Faithful and other nearby geysers. The FAQ section 
provides answers to several of the frequently asked questions that 
explain how a few geysers can be predicted and other fascinating details 
about Yellowstone’s geysers.

You can follow the Social Media Feed and see what’s happening in 
Yellowstone by browsing the park’s Twitter, YouTube and Flickr sites. 
Because every eruption is different, the app’s Photo Gallery contains an 
array of geyser eruption photos.

The NPS Geysers app was developed in partnership with Dr. Brett 
Oppegaard, Washington State University (Vancouver) and University of 
Hawaii, and the National Park Service, Yellowstone National Park and 
Harpers Ferry Center. The app was made possible, in part, by a donation 
from Canon USA, Inc., through the Yellowstone Park Foundation.

The NPS Geysers app is now available in the Google Play Store and in the 
Apple App Store.
