Old Faithful, Yellowstone NP, Wyoming
Old Faithful Image

The largest concentration of geysers in the world is in the Upper Geyser Basin of Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming. Perhaps the most famous of these is known as Old Faithful — named for it's predictability, this cone geyser ejects water that has been expelled as a result of superheated steam from well-below ground. The water jet's height can be as high as 180 feet. GeoEye's IKONOS satellite took this image July 10, 2002.
