Spouter Geyser is located in the Norris Geyser Basin, the hottest and most dynamic geyser basin in Yellowstone National Park.
Spouter Geyser can shoot water up to 10 feet into the air during its eruptions.
The geyser's eruptions are affected by shifts in underground water pressure and temperature, making its activity unpredictable.
The vibrant colors surrounding the geyser are due to thermophilic bacteria that thrive in the hot, mineral-rich waters.
It is one of many geysers in Yellowstone, which contains over half of the world's geysers.
The Norris Geyser Basin is believed to be over 115,000 years old, making it one of the oldest geothermal areas in Yellowstone.
