Old Faithful Geyser

Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming

Eruptions can shoot 3,700 to 8,400 U.S. gallons (14–32.000 litre) of boiling water to a height of 106–185 feet (30–56 m) lasting from 1.5 to 5 minutes.
The average height of an eruption is 145 feet (44 m).
The highest recorded eruption was 185 feet (56 m) high.
Eruptions often occur about 90 minutes apart, but this interval can range from 45 to 125 minutes on occasion.
