Description

A natural wonder - a geyser in a lake. The fishing cone geyser in Yellowstone Lake - love the colors and transition. Interesting story on this geyser. The water in the lake was not always this high, so the geyser was not underwater (as it is shown here). Stories have been told of men fishing for trout a bit further out, could catch one and pull it in and dip it into the geyser boiling water to cook the fish. I don't know that this is very practical, but certainly plausible. A ban on boiling live fish in the spring and became effective in the beginning of 1912 following animal welfare concerns. As the water level in Yellowstone Lake has increased, the cone is now inundated during the spring and the temperatures in the cone have cooled enough that it no longer erupts and is now considered a hot spring.
