Melvin Mosley+FollowYellowstone’s Steamboat Geyser goes silentYellowstone’s Steamboat Geyser, the world’s tallest active geyser, has suddenly stopped erupting after years of dramatic activity. Locals and visitors alike are left wondering what’s going on, since scientists can’t pinpoint the cause. Unlike Old Faithful’s reliable show, Steamboat’s unpredictable nature is on full display—sometimes it erupts dozens of times a year, other times it’s quiet for years. Right now, it’s been silent for over 230 days, and even the experts admit they’re stumped. Is this just another of its mysterious naps, or is something bigger happening underground? What do you think is behind Steamboat’s latest pause? #Science #Yellowstone #SteamboatGeyser00Share
