For those of you who have seen it when the small sinter bridge was still there, it is now gone (not sure how long it has been gone). The eruptions I saw were all with lower light, so it was difficult to tell whether or not the water was milky or not. It was quite clear from what I could see. All eruptions either began during a major of Bulger Geyser (full height, duration > 5min) or immediately after an "intermediate eruption" of Bulger (full height, duration ~ 30sec). You'd see the water come up in Bulger's Hole, and the bursting eruption would then commence. The eruption has a very interesting chugging sound. It sounds extraordinarily violent in my opinion. Many rocks are thrown quite often, however, I think some of these rocks are actually washed in from the back edge of the crater during the eruption and spit right back out. Here is a link to a "series" of two eruptions of Bulger. <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x-PDUNEiypo">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x-PDUNEiypo</a> Or maybe it is considered one eruption with a pause... I don't really know how to classify it. The eruption was interrupted by another eruption of Bulger. This was a series that started after an intermediate eruption of Bulger, and between the two eruptions of Bulger's Hole, Bulger had another intermediate eruption. I apologize for the shakiness at the start. I was trying to pull out a radio to call it while recording (easier said than done).<o:p></o:p> <div> Also, attached is a picture from an eruption on Thursday (7/28/11). The major eruption of Bulger is shown in the background for comparison.<o:p></o:p> </div> <div> <o:p> </o:p> </div> <div> -Ben Hoppe -- I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me.
