The grand attraction at Yellowstone Old Faithful Geyser (la gran atraccion en Yellowstone Geiser Old Feithful)

Posted by yamilet on September 1, 2011

We had to go and see active Geysers which are a type of geothermal feature that periodically erupt scalding hot watert. There are many, many Geysers but old faithful erupts every 60 to 90 minutes every day and it lasts for about 2 to 4 minutes. While we were there we happen to see another Geyser erupt as well by chance because that one is unpredictable, yupiyuuuuuu.

I also got to go to Midway Geyser Basin where I saw cool hydrothermal springs.

Within the pictures I included one of fumaroles. Fumaroles or steam vents, are the hottest hydrothermal features in the park. They have so little water that it all flashes into steam before reaching the surface.

Teniamos que ir a ver géiser activos que son un tipo de característica geotérmica que periódicamente estallan agua hirviendo. Hay muchisimos géisers pero old faithful (viejo y fiel) entra en erupción cada 60 a 90 minutos todos los días y dura de 2 a 4 minutos. Mientras estábamos allí, nos toco ver a otro géiser estallar de casualidad, porque este es impredecible, yupiyuuuuuu.

También fui a Midway Geyser Basin, donde vi fuentes hidrotermales.

Dentro de las fotos inclui una foto de fumarolas. Fumarolas o ventiladores de vapor, son los mas calientes del parque. Tienen tan poca agua que todos se convierte en vapor antes de llegar a la superficie.
