What is the biggest geyser?

Answer 1

Lady Knox is the tallest geyser in the World and New Zealand.

Nope: it's Steamboat Geyser in Yellowstone N.P.

Actually, Waimangu of New Zwaland, was the tallest Geyser, but it got extinct after getting destroyed by a landslide in 1994. Its eruption was recorded between 600-1000 feet. But the existing tallest geyser is, yes , Steamboat of Yellowstone N.P, USA , which has eruptions from 250 to 390 feet.

Answer 2

Giant Geyser in upper Geyser Basin Yellowstone Giant Geyser in upper Geyser Basin Yellowstone is the second highest in the world. An eruption of Giant can reach 250 feet, last over an hour and put out an an amazing one million gallons of water! It is not a very predictable geyser though like old faithful and its eruption can very from 150'-250' Old Faithful eruption reaches about 150 feet, lasts less than 5 minutes and puts out around 10,000 gallons of water. It is big but not the biggest but it is predictable. It erupts 65 minutes after an eruption lasting less than 2.5 minutes or 92 minutes after an eruption lasting more than 2.5 minutes. Steamboat geyser is the largest in the world. It can reach 300' – 400' which is two to three times the average height of Old Faithful. Steamboat's major eruptions last from 3 to 40 minutes and it is also not predictable. These are all in Yellowstone in Wyoming USA which is the largest geothermal area in the world.

Answer 3

THE TALLEST GEYSER IN THE WORLD

Between 1900 and 1904, the Waimangu Geyser (waimangu is for "black water") nearRotorua, New Zealand would consistently erupt to heights of at least 150 meters, and sometimes reached the incredible height of 460 meters. It only existed for a relatively short period of time, but managed to attract a good number of tourists

Eruptions of muddy water and large rocks to heights of 150 metres were common, and there were occasional super-eruptions to the remarkable height of 460 metres. In comparison, the tallest currently-active geyser in the world (Steamboat geyser, in Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming) erupts to maximum heights of 100 metres. The top of Auckland’s Sky Tower is about 330 metres above street level.

Not surprisingly, a tourist industry sprang up around Waimangu geyser. Accommodation for tourists, overlooking the geyser basin, was built in the summer of 1902. Trough 1903, the geyser increased its activity, and increasing numbers of visitors flocked to see the spectacle. However, a tragic event occurred that year: four tourists ventured closer to get a better view, but were swept away and killed by a sudden eruption. The geyser began to wane in 1904 and by November of that year activity stopped as suddenly as it had started.
