I can make several comments about the translated Russian webpage:</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>-- the "[rezhim]" is undoubtedly "regime", a term the Russians use a lot in all physical science literature.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>-- might the Troinoi stuff be talking about "communication" during eruptions between the vents, of which there are three major and several minor. (?)</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>The Russians seem to have long been fascinated by the concept of mixing, and so have done experiments in which they pour cold water into a geyser: Quathegy ["Quantum Theory of Geysers"], Malenkii Printz [a.k.a., Prince Buratino], and others. The Russians have called this procedure "hydrosounding." </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Also copied from the translation were the following:</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> o Troinoi Geyser (Same kind of stuff as with Giant.  On the map, you can <BR>see Troinoi.  Across the river are "Sugary" and right below it "Neighbor."  <BR>Next to the map, the graph's first column is "beginning of eruption," then <BR>"between eruptions," followed by "period of production" and "period of <BR>peace.")</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I respond:</DIV> <DIV>Bear in mind (might some gazers not know this?), following the 1991 expedition to Kamchatka I/we produced a special issue of the GOSA Transactions. In it is an excellent and, in fact, highly accurate map of the Valley of Geysers. In it, too, are descriptions of all major geysers (including Troinoi [which we had as Troynoy], Sakharnyi [Sugary], and Sosed [Neighbor]). With photos. With activity tables. Etc.</DIV> <DIV><BR><BR>***NOTE: On both the Giant page and the Troinoi page, you can click the link <BR>to the left of the DivX Icon to see videos of the geysers erupting.  I <BR>haven't seen Yellowstone's Giant or Russia's Giant in person, but now at <BR>least I've seen Russia's Giant on video!<BR></DIV> <DIV>And if you wish to see Velikan and Troinoi and many, many other geysers in eruption, the GosaStore also has my 1-hour video.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Scott Bryan</DIV></FONT></BODY></HTML>
