A book I bought for my son on volcanoes has a page on geysers. The geyser in the image below is listed as being Old Faithful in Yellowstone National Park. I have been fortunate enough to watch Old Faithful many times in my life and I know that the geyser in the picture is definitely not Old Faithful.

Which geyser is this, and where is it? I notice there are palm trees in the background, and so conclude that this isn't even a geyser in Yellowstone.

Heh, they've made a simple mistake. It IS Old Faithful, but not the Yellowstone one. It's the one in Calistoga, California.

Wiki page on Calistoga, with image on it.

Bing image search that shows other angles of the geyser

  • Oh man, that means every geyser shown in that book are actually accidental man-made ones. The book also shows Fly Geyser.
