Corporal Geyser

Corporal Geyser is a small cyan-tinted geyser in the Norris Geyser Basin.  Back in 2003, a park ranger was visiting with tourists right around Corporal Geyser when she noticed a sweet smell.  From experience, she knew the smell was sap in the trees, practically cooking from the heat.  The trail was immediately closed, with temperatures 1 cm below the surface in the area at the boiling point!!  It was a very active summer in the Norris Geyser Basin, with many features changing their behavior.  It has since calmed down, and the trail has reopened.  Just the type of unpredictable thing that makes Yellowstone so exciting!!
