Yellowstone national park
Yellowstone National Park is located in the Rocky Mountains of the north-western United States. Established in 1872, it is the oldest and largest of the 35 National Parks in the United States.
The park is noted for its wealth of natural wonders and its abundant wildlife.
Yellowstone has more than ten thousand geysers and hot water springs.
The most famous geyser is without doubt the "Old Faithful", which every 70 minutes sprays its watery plume some forty metres in the air.
In the area surrounding Old Faithful most of the warm springs and geysers of the park can be found. For a geyser you need water and heat, and of course an exhaust system. In Yellowstone all three factors are there. A hot stream flows just below the earth’s crust.
Yellowstone is officially designated by UNESCO as “World Heritage Site”.
