Steamboat Geyser is the world’s tallest active geyser, and it used to be really active. For the past several years, the feature blasted steaming hot water hundreds of feet into the air above Yellowstone National Park, sometimes dozens of times annually. But the geyser hasn’t erupted in over 230 days, and scientists aren’t seeing any signs that it will again soon. The Wyoming news outlet Cowboy State Daily reports that the geyser—which erupted a staggering 165 times between 2018 and early 2023—has entered a period of stagnation. Steamboat has only erupted twice in 2025, most recently on April 14, some 237 days ago. This pause in eruptions isn’t exactly unusual in and of itself. Steamboat has gone through such periods in the past, but geologists like Mike Poland, scientist-in-charge at the Yellowstone Volcano Observatory, say that something is different this time.
