Album caption: Wyo - Y.S.N.P. Index card: Minute Geyser in major eruption about 20 m high.

Black Growler fumarole in Norris Geyser Basin. Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming. 1950.

Album caption: Wyo - Y.S.N.P. Index card: Black Growler fumarole, which has had as many as five vents ranging in temperature from nearly boiling to 138° C. The noisiest fumarole shifts from one to another with time; the hottest or noisiest is commonly called the Black Growler (left vent in this photo). Norris Geyser Basin. Yellowstone National Park. Wyoming. June 6, 1950. Published as Figure 30 in U.S. Geological Survey. Professional Paper 1456. 1988.

Apparatus used to measure temperatures at Y-1 drill hole as drilling progressed. Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming. No date.

Album caption and index card: Apparatus used to measure temperatures at Y-1 drill hole as drilling progressed. Stainless steel wire on a reel (lower left, on drilling platform); wire extends over an aluminum sheave, through a threaded plug and is attached to lead weight. A maximum-reading mercury thermometer screws into the bottom of the lead weight, thus permitting emplacement of thermometer as close as possible to drilled bottom. The four-inch pipe upon which the sheave is mounted constitutes a pressure chamber, which extends below the drilling platform. The pipe is fastened either to the main valve (photo no. 6) or to a valve on the uppermost of the drill rods in the hole. Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming....

Porkchop Geyser (spring) in Norris Geyser Basin, showing flowline trends in sinter. Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming. 1959.

Album caption: Wyo - Y.S.N.P. Index card: Porkchop Geyser (spring), showing flowline trends in sinter. Hottest water rises from vent (foreground, slightly blue), flows out over pool's surface (low density) and cools, then descends down maximum slope (compare with swirling descent of Coral Spring (D.E. White 7ct wde00007_ct)). Residence time of water in this pool is seldom long enough for SiO2 to polymerize, but the opalescent blue of colloidal SiO2 has been observed. Brown algae grows on cool borders that are continuously wet; white sinter is dry except during eruptions when temperatures are too high and variable to sustain algae. Norris Geyser Basin. Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming. September 2, 1959. Published...

Hydrophane Springs in Norris Geyser Basin after widespread reactivation in 1982. Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming. 1983.

Album caption: Wyo - Y.S.N.P. Index card: Hydrophane Springs after widespread reactivation in 1982. For many years this area of thick white sinter (gray and brown on weathered surfaces) had no surface discharge but had standing water levels and local boiling around 2 m below general level. Here, opalescent high-SiO2 water has discharged and polymerized from new high-level vents and flowed subsurface, perhaps into lower vents, eastward into Gray Lakes. View looking north; nearest pool is 1-1 1/2 m in diameter. Norris Geyser Basin. Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming. April 1983. Published as Figure 17 in U.S. Geological Survey.

Green Dragon Spring in Norris Geyser Basin, discharging acid Cl-So4 water of long-debated origin. Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming. 1947.

Album caption: Wyo - Y.S.N.P. Index card: Green Dragon Spring, discharging acid Cl-SO4 water of long-debated origin.
