Additional Details:
Excelsior geyser has been inactive since 1888, during which time it threw out an immense volume of water and great masses of rock, so that the crater was greatly enlarged, and now, though inactive, pours over 4,000 gallons of water per minute into Fire Hole River. The crater is twenty feet deep and has an area of 330 by 200 feet. This was at one time the largest geyser, in reality a volcano
