Water and steam erupting from a geyser
Geyser. View of water and steam erupting violently from a geyser in Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming, USA. Geysers consist of deep natural wells in geothermal rock fissures. Somewhere near the base of the well is a large chamber. The water in the chamber is heated by the surrounding rocks until it is well over its normal boiling point, but is prevented from boiling by hydrostatic pressure. The heating also causes the water to expand, spilling from the lip of the well. At a critical point, the loss of water allows the hydrostatic pressure to fall to a point where the superheated water boils spontaneously and erupts

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the awe-inspiring sight of a geyser erupting with immense power in Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming, USA. The image showcases the mesmerizing display of water and steam violently shooting out from the depths of the earth. Geysers, like this one, are formed by natural wells located within geothermal rock fissures. The photograph provides a glimpse into the fascinating process behind these geological wonders. Deep within the well lies a spacious chamber where water is heated by its surroundings to temperatures far beyond its normal boiling point. However, due to hydrostatic pressure exerted on it, the water remains in liquid form despite being superheated. As heat continues to build up within this underground chamber, causing expansion and overflow at times, there comes a critical moment when enough water is lost for hydrostatic pressure to decrease significantly. This sudden drop triggers an extraordinary reaction - spontaneous boiling occurs as soon as pressure reaches a tipping point. In this remarkable instant captured by Science Photo Library's lens, we witness nature's spectacle unfolding before our eyes - an eruption that releases pent-up energy through towering plumes of steam and cascading jets of scalding hot water. Yellowstone National Park's geothermal activity has long fascinated scientists and visitors alike. This print serves as a testament to both its breathtaking beauty and scientific significance while reminding us of Earth's incredible forces at work beneath our feet.
