Old Faithful soldier station and Giantess geyser, Geyser Hill in background. Detroit Publishing Company, 1902. Giantess Geyser is a fountain-type geyser in the Upper Geyser Basin. It is known for its violent and infrequent eruptions of multiple water bursts that reach from 100 to 200 feet. Eruptions generally occur 2 to 6 times a year. The surrounding area may shake from underground steam explosions just before the initial water and/or steam eruptions. It was one of the seven geysers named during the Washburn-Langford-Doane Expedition to the park region in 1870. Yellowstone National Park is a national park located primarily in the state of Wyoming, although it also extends into Montana and Idaho. It was established by Congress and signed into law by President Ulysses S. Grant on March 1, 1872.
