"World's tallest geyser erupts Steamboat was said to be emitting a tremendous roar and to have pushed a vapour plume 150 metres (500 feet) into the air. Experts say that Steamboat Geyser rarely erupts this dramatically. More commonly, it ejects water in frequent bursts of 3-12 metres (10-40 feet) in height. Most major eruptions will go over 90 metres (300 feet), showering viewers with mineral-rich waters. But this is an extremely rare event. Steamboat was dormant from 1911-1961. In recent years, it has erupted in 1989 (3 times), 1990 (1 time), and 1991 (1 time). There are hundreds of geysers at Yellowstone, more than in any other part of the world. The most famous is Old Faithful which throws up a column more than 30-metres (100-feet) high every hour or so." news.bbc.co.uk
