When Steamboat Geyser, the world's tallest, started erupting again in 2018 in Yellowstone National Park, after decades of relative silence, it raised a few tantalizing scientific questions. Why is it erupting again now? What can we learn about it before it goes quiet again? And why is it so tall? Recorded eruption heights reach up to 360 ft high enough to splash the top of the statue of Liberty. Steamboat geyser seemingly follows no patterns. It's only had three periods of sustained activity in recorded history, one in the 1960s, one in the 1980s and one that began in 2018 and continues today. But the current phase of geyser activity has already seen more eruptions than either of the previous phases.
