description Aurum Geyser Overview
Aurum Geyser is a hydrothermal feature in Yellowstone National Park's Upper Geyser Basin. Its main vent boils continuously and is surrounded by raised sinter deposits that form a low, cone-like structure. Eruptions are irregular rather than clockwork events; National Park Service observations describe water reaching about 20 feet, or 6 metres, and an eruption duration of approximately 70 seconds.
help Aurum Geyser FAQ
Where is Aurum Geyser located?
Aurum Geyser is in Yellowstone National Park's Upper Geyser Basin. The basin also contains famous hydrothermal features such as Old Faithful.
Does Aurum Geyser erupt on a fixed schedule?
No. Its eruptions are irregular rather than clockwork events, so visitors cannot rely on a simple predictable timetable.
What does Aurum Geyser look like between eruptions?
Its main vent boils continuously and is surrounded by raised sinter deposits. These deposits form a low, cone-like structure around the vent.
Why are Aurum Geyser eruptions difficult to predict?
Hydrothermal systems change as underground water, heat, and pressure shift. The National Park Service describes Aurum's activity as irregular, so its boiling vent does not translate into a regular eruption interval.
