Description
The Depression Geyser in Yellowstone looks like a heart. And, there is another one named the Heart Spring that doesn't look like a heart! I guess they actually change all of the time...?? From Geyserwatch:DEPRESSION GEYSER lies in a depressed area of ground on Geyser Hill, giving it the name. Some years depression has been quite regular at about 3 hour intervals, but other years it can be irregular and/or have many hours between eruptions. The eruptions can have many bursts or just one. During an eruption, the water level drops to at least half way down the part of the crater you can see from the boardwalk. At that point it may have a ‘washing machine cycle’ where the water sloshes around and bursts can come from a back vent.The Upper Geyser Basin, approximately two square miles in area, contains the largest concentration and nearly one-quarter of all of the geysers in the world. A variety of thermal features exist here: spouting geysers, colorful hot springs, and steaming fumaroles.
