Note: | This feature has heated up to boiling since I was last on the Hill. Sinter and bacteria mat debris is scattered around it, suggesting a blowout. If it did blowout, it wasn't big, based on the dispersal of debris.
The current activity is frequent energetic bursting to about a foot. There are pauses of several minutes where the main vent goes quiet and a side vent on the bw side of the crater sputters. It is either a frequent geyser or strong cyclic spouter right now depending on your definition. |
