What's in the water to have it boiling below 100 °? In particulary, it being "superheated" at 204°F seems a bit odd. Vicki Rosenzweig 01:14 16 Jul 2003 (UTC)
- Not in the water but the air. The Yellowstone plateau (on which the majority of the geothermal area sit) is at an average elevation of 8,000 feet. --mav
