A view across the barren, mineral-stained sinter terraces of Norris Geyser Basin toward a massive column of steam and spray rising from Steamboat Geyser, with a stand of dark conifers on the ridge behind. Steamboat is the world's tallest active geyser, capable of throwing water more than 300 feet during its rare, unpredictable eruptions; between eruptions it steams steadily, as shown here. Norris Geyser Basin is the hottest and most dynamic thermal area in Yellowstone National Park.
