Kaleidoscope Geyser in the Lower Geyser Basin in 1965

Detailed Description

Kaleidoscope Geyser in the Lower Geyser Basin. George D. Marler and Donald E. White wrote in their 1975 journal paper that “In 1963, about 18 m northwest of Kaleidoscope Geyser, a violent eruption that may have been a single event scattered scores of blocks of sinter about a newly created crater about 3 m in diameter” but suggested that the event was either directly or indirectly related to the Hebgen Lake earthquake.
