Anemone Geyser

The Anemone Geysers are two geysers in the Upper Geyser Basin of Yellowstone National Park, alongside the majority of the world's active geysers, including Old Faithful, in the United States. They are located ten feet from each other, sometimes appearing independent, but with behavior that suggests

both geysers are connected. The geysers are often compared to sea anemones, displaying pools with smooth, round sinter in them. The larger geyser is known as Big or North Anemone. The smaller geyser is known as Little or South Anemone. Both geysers were named after the anemone flower by the Hague Party in 1904. Both vents have a pale yellow color and a shape similar to the anemone flower.
