Dilemma Geyser

Dilemma Geyser is a geyser in the Lower Geyser Basin of Yellowstone National Park in the United States.^[2] It is part of the Pink Cone complex. Other geysers in this group are Box Spring, Labial Geyser, Narcissus Geyser, Pink Geyser, and Pink Cone Geyser.

Eruptions of Dilemma Geyser vary from a few seconds to a few minutes and are high as 10 feet (3.0 m) in the spring with 1 to 4 feet (0.30 to 1.22 m) the rest of the year. The interval between eruptions is 2 to 10 minutes.

The name for Dilemma Geyser came from the fact that the two vents of this geyser are surrounded by distinct run-off channels that couldn't be explained by the tiny eruptions that the geyser had prior to 1989. The eruptions were so minute that they would barely splash a few drops above the grass. Starting in 1989, the eruptions became more forceful and began putting out enough water to explain the channels around the vents.^[2]
