What's in the water to have it boiling below 100 °? In particulary, it being "superheated" at 204°F seems a bit odd. Vicki Rosenzweig 01:14 16 Jul 2003 (UTC)
- Not in the water but the air. The Yellowstone plateau (on which the majority of the geothermal area sit) is at an average elevation of 8,000 feet. --mav
The article says that there are six geothermal areas -I only noticed 4 in the article. What are the others? Rmhermen 20:18, Feb 10, 2004 (UTC)
- West Thumb Geyser Basin and Mud Volcano/Sulphur Caldron. Info added. --mav
Why does Great Fountain Geyser redirect here? Isn't it also a distinct geyser? Revpfil (talk) 01:29, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
