Considering the caustic nature of geysers, it is impressive that anything survived that long.

Is that cell phone from a failed selfie?

Any teeth come out that hole?

“What kind of idiot throws crap into a geyser?”

We have a hot spring on the ranch and I’ve taken stained white fabrics, tossed them in for five minutes or so and then pulled them out nice and clean.

Just saying that these things have their practical uses.

I’d be interested in seeing a close-up of the coins.

Obviously Gaia doesn't like humans polluting her sacred waterways.

Vengeance, long overdue, is nigh.

I work on a campus and we have a trash bin ever two steps... but the ‘earth first’, Liberal idiots here, still litter everywhere.

The same kind of idiot that takes selfies with a beached baby dolphin until it dies.

Curious if this could indicate an underground river feeding water, and debris to a pool the volcanic activity heats to the point of eruption.

Enough of a current could move even the concrete block. In other words it might not be debris from the vicinity of the geyser itself, but from even a landfill many miles away. I can’t understand the concept of anyone taking a concrete block to a geyser.

The same idiots who step off the boardwalk and walk across the crust to “get up close”.

The same idiots who get out of their car and harass animals in the park.

Yellowstone is full of natural wonder and idiots from around the world.

[Park officials also warned visitors that leaving trash to fall into the spring could damage the geyser.]

DON’T BREAK THE GEYSER, DAMMIT!!
