Steamboat Geyser erupt Monday morning in Yellowstone National Park, marking the eighth eruption this year/Art Haeussler
The suddenly vigorous Steamboat Geyser at Yellowstone National Park erupted once again, on Monday morning, and one visitor was able to capture the steaming display on video.
The geyser, which has tossed the world's highest spray of hot water 300-400 feet in the air, put on a show just after 9 a.m. local time.
"Looks like @YellowstoneNPS #Steamboat #Geyser is holding true to its ~ 6-8 day repetition cycle - a geyser eruption occurred at about 9:05 a.m. MDT today," the U.S. Geological Survey said in a tweet. "How long do you think this will keep up?"
Art Haeussler captured the eruption and posted it on YouTube:
Like all living entities, Yellowstone's geysers and mudpots and hot springs and fumaroles ebb and flow, and fume and spit, gush and shower, and rise and fall. Such changes in patterns at times are suggestive of ... nothing.
And that seems to be the case with Steamboat, the world's largest active geyser. While Steamboat, located in the park's Norris Geyser Basin, has now erupted eight times this year, a relative gangbuster of activity for a geyser that can go years without erupting, the activity very possibly is indicative of nothing special, according to those who monitor the Yellowstone volcano.

Very nice! Thanks for sharing this video.
Thanks!! We just missed it! We were there on Sunday.
Amazing, such power in the water. Fantastic to see this. Thank you. X
amazing that we got to see it! But any tips on getting the geyser spray off our car?!
You might try washing your car with diluted vinegar. Vinegar will re-dissolve teh geyser minerals. A gallon is pretty cheap. Or, try a clay bar. Car show competitors use them for a super smoth wax job. You can get one at any good autoparts store. Meguiars and Mothers make them, as well as other brands.

Trying using the cleaning liquid for glass topped stoves from Weiman along with there brand cleaning pads. Worked on my car windows to get hard warer spots off when nothing else would... Dav
Art beat me to the punch and posted his first. But, WOW, was it something to see! So good I'm gonna re-enlist at Norris Campground for five or ten more nights to see if I can catch it again.
Did you ever get the geyser spray off your car? We just saw Steamboat erupt today. It was amazing!! ...but now we have the spray on our car. Tried a car wash and it did not work. What did work for you? The diluted vinegar? Any advice would be great!
