    Just the other day Steamboat Geyser,an active unpredictable Geyser erupted,reaching 300 feet, making it the tallest Geyser in the world. The last time it blew was in 2005. It can lay dormant for decades or days with no predictable time table.

    Does anyone know of any mention of Geysers anywhere in Torah literature be it halacha, medrash, gemora or anything more contemporary.

    (note: Chamay Tiverya are hot springs not Geysers. Although very related, it’s no Geyser)

    By the mabul it says that the mayanos hatehom opened which refers to hot springs according to Rashi I believe.

    A Geyser is not a Hot Spring.

    I think Geysers only exists in 2 places in the world

    Yellowstone National park and Iceland

    Geysers are a type of hot spring. And they definitely have geysers in more places than just Yellewstone and Iceland (there are some in Russia).

    Ive been to Yellowstone , Its my favorite place in the US

    Its totally amazing there, The water just shoots in the air. A hot spring on the other hard is just hot or warm water, they are more common than you think
