Horrible Today: Seconds of Massive Explosion Norris Geyser's Basin At Yellowstone Park Hot Springs!
The Black Diamond Pool hydrothermal eruption in Biscuit Basin was caused by liquid water turning to steam in a clogged hot water piping system just below the surface, sending steam, water, mud, and rock several hundred feet into the air..
Such explosions are relatively common in Yellowstone National Park, though they are rarely well-documented. Explosions that left craters about 10 feet wide occurred in Norris Geyser Basin in 1989 at Porkchop Geyser and more recently on April 15, 2024, above Porcelain Basin..
Hydrothermal explosions of this size probably occur every year or so somewhere in Yellowstone National Park’s vast landscape, but they often go unnoticed because they occur at night, in the winter, or in the backcountry. Something as large as the 2024 Black Diamond Pool event probably happens every few decades in Yellowstone..
