Pink Geyser

Pink Geyser

Pink Geyser is a geyser in the Lower Geyser Basin of Yellowstone National Park in the United States.

Pink Geyser is part of the Pink Cone Group. Other geysers in this groups include Bead Geyser, Box Spring, Dilemma Geyser, Labial Geyser, Narcissus Geyser, and Pink Cone Geyser.

Eruptions of Pink Geyser last 7 minutes and are 20 feet (6 m) high. The interval between eruptions is 31⁄4—31⁄2 hours.

Pink Geyser was named after the pink color of its cone, the same color as Pink Cone and Narcissus Geysers indicating that three are tied together though they seem to have little affect on each other.

Pink Geyser seems to be susceptible to seismic activity. Before the 1983 Borah Peak earthquake, it only erupted twice a day. Following the quake, its interval shortened to between 5 and 7 hours. The 2002 Denali earthquake shortened the intervals even more.
