Narcissus Geyser
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Narcissus Geyser is a geyser in the Lower Geyser Basin of Yellowstone National Park in the United States.
Narcissus Geyser is part of the Pink Cone Group. Other geysers in this groups are Bead Geyser, Box Spring, Dilemma Geyser, Labial Geyser, Pink Geyser, and Pink Cone Geyser.
Narcissus Geyser has minor and major eruptions. Minor eruptions last 5—8 minutes and are 20 feet (6 m) high. Major eruptions last up to 15 minutes and are 15 feet (4.5 m) high. The interval between eruptions is 21⁄4—6 hours.
This geyser is the hardest to see in the Pink Cone Group as it is located furthest from the road and is partially screened by trees. Its cone is the same pink color as Pink and Pink Cone Gesyers indicating that they may be tied together though they do not seem to affect one another.
