Steamboat Geyser, in Yellowstone National Park's Norris Geyser Basin, in Wyomimg is the world's tallest currently-active geyser. Steamboat Geyser has two vents, and the north vent is responsible for the tallest water columns. Steamboat's major eruptions generally last from 3 to 40 minutes and are followed by powerful jets of steam. During these eruptions, water may be thrown more than 300 feet (91 m) into the air. After an eruption, the geyser often vents large amounts of steam for up to 48 hours.
