Exmouth Gulf, inlet of the Indian Ocean in Western Australia, between North West Cape and the mainland. It is 55 miles (90 km) long north to south and 30 miles across the mouth and has a maximum depth of 72 feet (22 m). Fishing, pearling, prawning, and tourism are the main local industries, and drilling for oil has taken place in the region. Nearby Cape Range National Park is important for the conservation of the threatened black-footed rock wallaby. The west coast was charted by the Dutch navigator Abel Tasman in 1644. The gulf was named for Admiral Viscount Exmouth by Lieutenant Phillip Parker King, who surveyed the coast in 1818 in HMS Mermaid. The town of Exmouth was established in 1967 as a residential and service centre for a U.S. naval communications station at North West Cape. Both the town and the station were severely damaged by a cyclone in 1999. All U.S. naval personnel left the station in 2002, and the facility subsequently became privately managed under the supervision of the Australian navy. Pop. (2006) urban centre, 1,844.

The channel, 92 miles (148 km) long and up to 46 miles (74 km) wide, has been a major centre for Antarctic explorations. First discovered in 1841 by the Scottish explorer Sir James Clark Ross, it thereafter served as one of the main access routes to the Antarctic continent. Along its shores, on Ross Island, the British explorer Robert Falcon Scott established his headquarters. That site later served as the main base for the expedition (1908) of another British explorer, Ernest Henry Shackleton, and from the 1950s it and several locations on Victoria Land served as scientific-research stations operated by the United States and New Zealand.

River Tamar, tidal estuary in northern Tasmania, Australia, formed by the confluence of the North and South Esk rivers. It extends 40 miles (65 km) northwest to enter Bass Strait at Port Dalrymple, the mouth of the estuary. The latter was named in 1798 by the explorers George Bass and Matthew Flinders and was the site in 1804 of York Town (or Yorktown), the first local settlement. About 2 miles (3 km) wide, the River Tamar is navigable over its entire length to the port of Launceston, but larger ships use wharves closer to the mouth at Bell Bay, Australia?s largest aluminum-production complex, and at Beauty Point and Inspection Head. Fertile terraces, which support orchards, vineyards, and sheep farms, line the river, which is paralleled by the East and West Tamar highways. The name Tamar was taken from a river flowing between Cornwall and Devon, Eng.

Puget Sound, deep inlet of the eastern North Pacific Ocean indenting northwestern Washington, U.S. It stretches south for 100 miles (160 km) from Admiralty Inlet and Whidbey Island (beyond which lie the straits of Georgia and Juan de Fuca). Hood Canal is a large western extension. The sound is the submerged northern end of the Cowlitz-Puget trough, which extends for some 350 miles (565 km) between the Cascade Range and the Coast Ranges. The southern end of this trough is the Willamette River valley. Of the many streams that enter the sound from the east, the Skagit and Snohomish rivers and the Duwamish Waterway are navigable for a portion of their lengths. Puget Sound has many excellent deepwater harbours, including Seattle, Tacoma, Everett, and Port Townsend, which serve as outports for rich farmlands along the river estuaries. A naval shipyard at Bremerton adds military shipping to the sound?s large volume of local and international trade. The sound also serves as the southern terminus of the Inside Passage to Alaska. It provides a sheltered playground for pleasure boats and still yields a salmon catch, though the latter is much reduced from former levels. Whale-watching excursions are popular with tourists and constitute a lucrative business in the San Juan Islands of upper Puget Sound.

Gulf of Saint Lawrence, body of water covering about 60,000 square miles (155,000 square km) at the mouth of the St. Lawrence River. It fringes the shores of half the provinces of Canada and is a gateway to the interior of the entire North American continent. Its name is not entirely accurate, for in a hydrologic context the gulf has to be considered more as a sea bordering the North American continent than as simply a river mouth. Its boundaries may be taken as the maritime estuary at the mouth of the St. Lawrence River, in the vicinity of Anticosti Island, on the west; the Strait of Belle Isle between Newfoundland and the mainland, to the north; and Cabot Strait, separating Newfoundland from the Nova Scotian peninsula, on the south.

It has been an important transportation route since the 16th century, when the Holy Roman emperor Charles V designated Vlissingen (on Walcheren) as his port of embarkation from the Netherlands. Unlike inlets to the north, the Western Schelde continues to be kept open to the North Sea as an important and very crowded shipping route to Antwerp, Belg., and destinations on canalized waterways farther north, south, and east. Dikes built along most of the coastline prevent flooding. The estuary is not bridged; ferry services operate between Vlissingen and Breskens and between Perkpolder and Kruiningen.

Dilemma Geyser

Dilemma Geyser is a geyser in the Lower Geyser Basin of Yellowstone National Park in the United States.

Dilemma Geyser 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 1.2 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.

Bronx Kill
Straits near New York City

The Bronx Kill is a narrow strait in New York City delineating the southernmost extent of the Bronx and separating it from Randall's Island. It connects the Harlem River to the East River.Originally, the Bronx Kill was a sizeable waterway, approximately 600 feet (180 m) in width. There were also plans by the War Department to dredge a 24-foot (7.3 m) deep channel, 480 feet (150 m) in width, to improve navigation and reduce tidal currents.

Navigation :
The Bronx Kill offers a venue for kayakers and other human-powered boaters without the worry of larger vessel traffic. Canoe and kayak expeditions through the waterway begin on the Harlem River, near the Third Avenue Bridge. Crossings must be well timed for the tides, to ensure both the correct current direction and sufficient water height: at low water, parts of the Bronx Kill entirely bottom out, revealing muddy stretches, abandoned cars and other assorted junk.

There is also low clearance above the electrical conduits that supply power to Randall's Island.Consequently, no commercial vessels navigate the kill, with local businesses mostly opting instead for road and rail transport, including the Oak Point Link along its north bank.

Repulse Bay, inlet of the Coral Sea, on the central Queensland coast, northeastern Australia. Oriented northwest-southeast, the bay is about 16 miles (26 km) wide and about 19 miles (31 km) long. The area was visited by the British explorer Capt. James Cook in June 1770. He had hoped to lay up his ship, HMS Endeavour, there for repairs, but the bay was insufficiently sheltered for that purpose. Cook therefore gave the name Repulse to the bay and the small group of islands at its entrance.

Port Essington, inlet of the Arafura Sea, indenting the north shore of the Cobourg Peninsula, at the extreme north of the Northern Territory, Australia. About 19 miles (30 km) long and 7 miles (11 km) wide, it was surveyed in 1818 by Captain Phillip Parker King of the Royal Navy, who named it for Admiral Sir William Essington. In 1824 it was the site of Britain?s third attempt to settle the north coast of Australia. The attempt failed, and the settlement, named Victoria, survived only from 1838 until 1849. Relics of the settlement are preserved in the Cobourg Marine Park. Cultured pearl farming is carried on in the inlet and other bays of the Cobourg Peninsula.

Charlotte Harbor, shallow inlet of the Gulf of Mexico, indenting the southwest coast of Florida, U.S., between Sarasota and Fort Myers. It covers about 270 square miles (700 square km). The Peace and Myakka rivers enter the harbour?s north end, and a dredged channel serves the port of Punta Gorda. The harbour was originally named for the Calusa Indians; corruptions of the name Calusa led to the Spanish Carlos, which the British changed to Charlotte for the wife of King George III. In 1521 the Spanish explorer Juan Ponce de León tried to establish a colony in the area, but he was wounded and driven away by the Calusa and died later that year in Cuba. The harbour has mangroves and sea-grass beds and provides habitat for animals including manatees, sea turtles, wood storks, and dolphins. The harbour and much of the surrounding shoreline are included within state preserves.

Gaillard Cut, also called Culebra Cut, Spanish Corte de Culebra, artificial channel in Panama forming a part of the Panama Canal. It is an excavated gorge, more than 8 miles (13 km) long, across the Continental Divide. It is named for David du Bose Gaillard, the American engineer who supervised much of its construction. The unstable nature of the soil and rock in the area of Gaillard Cut made it one of the most difficult and challenging sections of the entire canal project. Workers who labored in temperatures of 100 or more degrees Fahrenheit used rock drills, dynamite, and steam shovels to remove as many as 96 million cubic yards of earth and rock as they lowered the floor of the excavation to within 40 feet of sea-level. Hillsides were subject to unpredictable earth and mud slides and at times the floor of the excavation was known to rise precipitously simply due to the weight of the hillsides. The well-known Cucaracha slide continued for years and poured millions of cubic yards into the canal excavation. Although the hillsides have been cut back and their angles decreased over the years to lessen the threat of serious slides, dredging remains a necessary part of canal maintenance in order to insure an open channel.

Fountain Paint Pot
The Fountain Paint Pot is a mud pot located in Lower Geyser Basin in Yellowstone National Park. The Fountain Paint Pot is named for the reds, yellows and browns of the mud in this area. The differing colors are derived from oxidation states of the iron in the mud. As with all hot springs, the heat in the caldera forces pressurized water up through the ground, which is expelled here. Also, rising gasses cause the bubbling action. The bubble action in the mud varies with the seasons. In the early summer, the mud is watery from the high water table due to rain and snow melt. By the end of summer, the mud is much thicker as the water table drops.

King George Sound, formerly King George III Sound, one of the finest natural harbours of Western Australia?s south coast. An inlet of the Indian Ocean, the sound, with a surface area of 35 square miles (91 square km), has an entrance 5 miles (8 km) wide flanked by Bald Head on the southwest and Cape Vancouver on the northeast. Its shores are generally steep and rocky. Breaksea and Michaelmas islands lie within the sound, which has two extensions, Oyster Harbour (north) and Princess Royal Harbour (west), the site of the port for the city of Albany. The inlet, charted (1791) by Captain George Vancouver and named by him after the reigning English king, was used as a whaling base as early as 1801. The King George III Sound settlement, predecessor of Albany, was founded in 1826. During World War II, the inlet was used as a U.S. naval base.

Gulf of Bothnia, Swedish Bottniska Viken, Finnish Pohjan Lahti, northern arm of the Baltic Sea, between Sweden (west) and Finland (east). Covering an area of about 45,200 square miles (117,000 square km), the gulf extends for 450 miles (725 km) from north to south but only 50 to 150 miles (80 to 240 km) from east to west; it is nearly closed off by the Åland (Ahvenanmaa) Islands (south). Its maximum depth is 965 feet (295 m) in the west-central portion; its average depth is only about 200 feet (60 m). Because it receives the water of so many rivers, including the Ångerman, Ume, Lule, Torne, Kemi, and Oulu, its salinity is extremely low, and, in consequence, ice cover is maintained for up to five months in the winter. There are many small islands, making navigation difficult. The main gulf ports are Pori, Vaasa (Vasa), and Oulu in Finland and Luleå, Härnösand, Sundsvall, and Gävle in Sweden. Many coastal sawmills process the vast forest resources of the hinterland, which was formerly called Bothnia (Botten), whence the gulf?s name.

Cook Inlet, branch of the Gulf of Alaska, Alaska, U.S. Situated in the North Pacific Ocean, it is bounded by the Kenai Peninsula on the east and extends northeast for 220 miles (350 km), narrowing from 80 to 9 miles (130 to 14 km). The inlet is fed by the Susitna, Matanuska, and Kenai rivers. The city of Anchorage in southern Alaska is situated near the head of the inlet (which receives the Susitna River), where Turnagain Arm stretches southeast and Knik Arm northeast. The inlet, which experiences tidal flows that sometimes exceed 30 feet (9 metres) in a daily cycle, is a salmon- and herring-fishing ground and an oil field. In 1778 the British navigator Captain James Cook entered the inlet during his search for the Northwest Passage. Lake Clark National Park and Preserve lies along the western portion of the inlet, and Captain Cook State Recreation Area (a portion of the Kenai National Wildlife Refuge) is on its northeastern reaches. The Cook Inlet?s nearly 50,000-square-mile (130,000-square-km) watershed includes nine terrestrial ecosystems and stretches some 430 miles (690 km) from north to south. The cities of Kenai and Homer are located along the inlet.

From 8 to 15 miles in width, it flows between Dundas Island (west) and the Tsimpsean Peninsula. The Skeena River enters just south of the port of Prince Rupert. The sound may have been named (1788) by British Capt. Charles Duncan after the 2nd earl of Chatham.

El Tatio is a geyser field located within the Andes Mountains of northern Chile at 4,200 meters above mean sea level. Contrary to some reports, it is not the highest-elevation geyser field in the World. Puchuldiza Geyser Field, Chile, and possibly several other fields are higher in elevation.

Tourists often visit the geysers while touring the nearby Atacama Desert and the village San Pedro de Atacama. "With over 80 active geysers, El Tatio is the largest geyser field in the southern hemisphere and the third largest field in the world, after Yellowstone, USA, and Dolina Giezerov, Russia".

"Though possessing numerous geysers, none erupt very high. The highest eruption observed has been around six meters in height. The average geyser eruption height at El Tatio is about 75 centimeters". The best time to see them is at sunrise when each geyser is surmounted by a column of steam that condenses in the bitterly cold morning air. The steam plumes disappear as the air warms up. It is also possible to bathe in the hot geyser water in a small pool. However parts of the field are very dangerous with a thin crust over almost boiling mud so ask your guide where you may go.

Strait of Canso, also called Canso Gut, a channel separating Cape Breton Island from the Nova Scotia, Canada, mainland, leading from Chedabucto Bay (an inlet of the Atlantic Ocean) to St. Georges Bay and the Northumberland Strait. It is about 17 miles (27 km) long and averages 2 miles (3 km) in width, with depths of more than 200 feet (60 m). Since 1955 the 7,000-foot (2,100-metre) Canso Causeway, carrying rail and Trans-Canada Highway traffic, has linked Cape Breton Island with the mainland; a navigation lock is capable of handling most oceangoing vessels. Chief towns on the strait are Port Hawkesbury and Mulgrave. Canso is derived from the Mi?kmaq Indian kamsok, translated as ?beyond the cliffs,? referring to the bluffs along the south shores of Chedabucto Bay that run eastward to Cape Canso.

Minas Basin, eastern inlet of the Bay of Fundy, protruding into central Nova Scotia, Canada. Up to 25 mi (40 km) in width and more than 50 mi in length (including its eastern extension, Cobequid Bay), the basin has some of the highest tides in the world; fluctuations exceeding 50 ft (15 m) have been recorded. It is connected to the Bay of Fundy by Minas Channel and receives the drainage of a number of rivers, including the Avon, Cornwallis, Salmon, and Shebenacadie. Minas Basin, corrupted from the French Le Bassin des Mines, was so named in 1604 by Samuel de Champlain because of the mineral deposits (specifically at Cap d?Or) found along its shores. Walton, on the southeast coast, is the province?s principal centre for mining metallic minerals (zinc, copper, silver, and lead).

Port Arthur, inlet of the Tasman Sea on the south coast of the Tasman Peninsula, Tasmania, Australia. It is known for the settlement established there in 1830 by George Arthur as the major site for punishing transported convicts who had further transgressed. A model reformatory for boys also existed from 1835 to 1849 at Point Puer, a rocky headland in the inlet. Although transportation of convicts ceased in 1853, the complex functioned for another 24 years, and altogether some 12,000 to 14,000 prisoners were there at one time or another. The partially restored ruins of the penal colony, including a church built by convicts (1836?40) and the spot called ?Isle of the Dead? (with many unmarked graves, mainly of convicts), are now prime tourist attractions. Port Arthur is accessible from Hobart, 63 miles (101 km) northwest, by the Arthur Highway. The whole Tasman Peninsula is registered as part of Australia?s National Estate (places preserved as part of Australia?s national heritage). On April 28, 1996, a gunman killed 35 people at the convict site.

Makassar Strait, also spelled Macassar Strait, Indonesian Selat Makassar, narrow passage of the west-central Pacific Ocean, Indonesia. Extending 500 miles (800 km) northeast?southwest from the Celebes Sea to the Java Sea, the strait passes between Borneo on the west and Celebes on the east and is 80 to 230 miles (130 to 370 km) wide. It is a deep waterway containing numerous islands, the largest of which are Laut Island and Sebuku. Balikpapan is the principal settlement along the strait on Borneo, and Makassar (Ujungpandang) is the largest on Celebes. In January 1942, during World War II, combined U.S. and Dutch military forces engaged a Japanese naval expedition in the strait. In five days of fighting, the Allies were unable to prevent a Japanese landing at Balikpapan, the first step taken in the occupation of Dutch Borneo.

Porsangen, fjord, indenting the coast of extreme northern Norway on the Arctic Ocean. An inlet of the Barents Sea, the fjord is approximately 80 miles (130 km) long and lies well north of the Arctic Circle. Adjacent to the mouth of the fjord is a largely uninhabited area, Sværholtklubben, which serves as home to thousands of seabirds. Many islands are found in Porsangen. Magerøya (island), just west of the mouth, contains North Cape (Nordkapp) and the northernmost point in Europe; a tunnel under Magerøy Sound leads to the island. The region around Porsangen is sparsely populated; Kistrand, Banak, Lakselv, and Børselv are the main villages. All are located along the southern shores. There is an airport at Banak. Fishing and reindeer herding are the major activities of the Sami people who live in the region. Norwegians and descendants of Finnish immigrants (Kvens) also live there.

Port Nicholson, also called Wellington Harbour, inlet of Cook Strait indenting southern North Island, New Zealand. The almost circular bay measures 7 miles (11 km) by 6 miles and covers a total of 20,000 acres (8,000 hectares). With at least 60 feet (18 m) of water over most of its extent, the bay is one of the world?s finest natural harbours. The Hutt River enters it from the north; and to the south, a deep passageway, 1 mile (1.6 km) wide, joins it with Cook Strait. Entered by Captain James Cook in 1773, the inlet was named after Captain John Nicholson, harbourmaster at Sydney (1826), Australia. The port, first used by sealers and whalers, was chosen in 1839 to be the site of the initial New Zealand Company settlement. European settlers arrived in 1840 and established Britannia at the mouth of the Hutt but later moved southwest to Lambton Harbour, around which the city of Wellington has grown.

Gulf of Mirabéllo, Modern Greek Kólpos Mirabéllou , deep gulf of the Aegean Sea on the northern coast of eastern Crete (Modern Greek: Kríti), the nomós (department) of Lasíthi, Greece. It separates the Díkti massif on the west from a range of hills on the east that include Mount Thriptís (Tryptí) and Mount Ornón. The gulf, named after the village of Mirabello, located north of the port of Áyios Nikólaos, is separated on the east from the Órmos (bay) Sitías by an indented and blunted promontory. Around the gulf are Olonte (Olus) and Lato, two ruined classical settlements; on the islets of Psíra and Mókhlos (Konídha) as well as at Gourniá at the head of the gulf are the remains of Late Minoan I (1600?1450 bce) settlements. Gourniá, excavated 1901?04 by the U.S. archaeologist Harriet Ann Boyd Hawes, is the only well-preserved Minoan town in Crete.

Glacier Bay, scenic indentation, about 50 miles (80 km) long, on the coast of southeastern Alaska, U.S. Situated about 100 miles (160 km) northwest of Juneau, it contains a spectacular display of glaciers that descend from the lofty ice-draped St. Elias Range in the east and the Fairweather Range in the west. Most of the several dozen glaciers in the area are terrestrial, but a handful are classified as tidewater (i.e., those that flow directly into the ocean). The bay, which is studded with many largely treeless islands that are used as rookeries by thousands of seabirds, has fjordlike inlets that terminate at ice cliffs or sheer faces of the glaciers. Muir Glacier, formerly the most famous of the tidewater glaciers, once rose 265 feet (81 metres) above the water and was nearly 2 miles (3 km) wide; it has shrunk and receded and no longer reaches the sea. Johns Hopkins Glacier is now the largest tidewater glacier in the region. Glacier Bay was the descriptive name given to the striking locality by Captain Lester A. Beardslee of the U.S. Navy in 1880. The bay is the focus of Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve.

Cockburn Sound, inlet of the Indian Ocean, southwestern Western Australia. The inlet extends 14 miles (23 km) south from the mouth of the Swan River to Point Peron. An important part of Fremantle?s outer harbour, it is 3?6 miles (5?9 km) wide and is bounded on the east by the mainland and on the west by Garden, Penguin, and Green islands and numerous well-developed coral reefs. It varies in depth from 30 to 72 feet (9 to 22 m) and is entered through a channel south of Garden Island. Within the sound, dredged artificial channels lead to the ports of Rockingham and Fremantle and to the coastal industrial strip around Kwinana. Named after Admiral Sir George Cockburn, it was in use as a whaling base as early as 1837. Since 1978 it has been the site of a naval base. The proximity of heavy industry has had a detrimental effect on Cockburn Sound?s marine environment. Environmentalists, local residents, and the state government have disputed further industrial development.

Gulf of Lion, French Golfe Du Lion, gulf of the Mediterranean Sea, extending along the coast of southern France from the Spanish border (west) to Toulon (east). The gulf receives the Tech, Têt, Aude, Orb, Hérault, Vidourle, and Petit and Grand Rhône rivers. When cold-air masses flow past the Alps and sweep southward down the Rhône River valley, the gulf experiences a dry, cold, northerly wind known locally as the mistral.

Prince William Sound, irregular inlet of the Gulf of Alaska, Alaska, U.S. It lies east of the Kenai Peninsula and spans about 90 to 100 miles (145 to 160 km). Hinchinbrook and Montague islands are at its oceanward entrance. The area lies within Chugach National Forest and has supported considerable fishing, mining, and forestry. Shipping is centred at the port of Valdez, the southern terminal for the Trans-Alaska Pipeline, and at Cordova. The sound was named by the British navigator Captain George Vancouver in 1778 to honour the third son of King George III.

Gulf Saint Vincent, triangular inlet of the Indian Ocean, on the southeast coast of South Australia, between Yorke Peninsula to the west and the mainland. About 90 mi (145 km) long and 45 miles (73 km) wide, it is linked with the ocean by Investigator Strait to the southwest, passing north of Kangaroo Island and by Backstairs Passage to the southeast. The Gawler, Torrens, and Onkaparinga rivers empty into the gulf near Adelaide. The shores are mostly low and sandy, and high salinity and hot solar evaporation have favoured an important salt industry based at Dry Creek near Port Adelaide, on the east coast. The gulf was investigated in 1802 by the English explorer Matthew Flinders and was named after Admiral John Jervis, Earl of St. Vincent. Port Adelaide, South Australia?s leading port, is on the eastern side of the gulf.

Norris Geyser Basin

The Norris Geyser Basin is the hottest geyser basin in the park and is located near the northwest edge of Yellowstone Caldera near Norris Junction and on the intersection of three major faults. The Norris-Mammoth Corridor is a fault that runs from Norris north through Mammoth to the Gardiner, Montana, area. The Hebgen Lake fault runs from northwest of West Yellowstone, Montana, to Norris. This fault experienced an earthquake in 1959 that measured 7.4 on the Richter scale (sources vary on exact magnitude between 7.1 and 7.8; see 1959 Yellowstone earthquake).

Norris Geyser Basin is so hot and dynamic because these two faults intersect with the ring fracture zone that resulted from the creation of the Yellowstone Caldera of 640,000 years ago. The Basin consists of three main areas: Porcelain Basin, Back Basin, and One Hundred Springs Plain. Unlike most of other geyser basins in the park the waters from Norris are acidic rather than alkaline (for example, Echinus Geyser has a pH of ~3.5). The difference in pH allows for a different class of bacterial thermophiles to live at Norris, creating different color patterns in and around the Norris Basin waters.

The Ragged Hills that lie between Back Basin and One Hundred Springs Plain are thermally altered glacial kames. As glaciers receded the underlying thermal features began to express themselves once again, melting remnants of the ice and causing masses of debris to be dumped. These debris piles were then altered by steam and hot water flowing through them. Madison lies within the eroded stream channels cut through lava flows formed after the caldera eruption. The Gibbon Falls lies on the caldera boundary as does Virginia Cascades.

Norris Geyser Basin periodically undergoes a large-scale, basin-wide thermal disturbance lasting a few weeks. Water levels fluctuate, and temperatures, pH, colors, and eruptive patterns change throughout the basin. During a disturbance in 1985, Porkchop Geyser continually jetted steam and water; in 1989, the same geyser apparently clogged with silica and blew up, throwing rocks more than 200 feet (61 m). In 2003 a park ranger observed it bubbling heavily, the first such activity seen since 1991. Activity increased dramatically in mid-2003. Because of high ground temperatures and new features beside the trail much of Back Basin was closed until October. In 2004 the boardwalk was routed around the dangerous area and now leads behind Porkchop Geyser.

North of Norris, Roaring Mountain is a large, acidic hydrothermal area (solfatara) with many fumaroles. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the number, size, and power of the fumaroles were much greater than today. The fumaroles are most easily seen in the cooler, low-light conditions of morning and evening. Artists' Paintpots is a small hydrothermal area south of Norris Junction that includes colorful hot springs and two large mudpots.

River Humber, North Sea inlet on the east coast of England, one of the major deepwater estuaries of the United Kingdom. The River Humber originates at the confluence of the Rivers Ouse and Trent and forms the historic boundary between the counties of Yorkshire and Lincolnshire. The Humber is about 40 miles (64 km) long, extends west to east, and, with associated rivers and canals, drains 9,550 square miles (24,750 square km). The estuary itself is more than 0.75 mile (1.2 km) across at its farthest inland point and widens to more than 7 miles (11 km) near its mouth; there Spurn Head, a sand and shingle spit with lighthouse, lifeboat station, and bird sanctuary, extends into the estuary. The great width of the estuary has prevented unified economic development of its traditionally quite different north and south banks. The Humber Bridge (opened in 1981), spanning the estuary, was constructed chiefly to aid further development. Measuring 4,626 feet (1,410 metres) in length, it was the longest suspension bridge in the world when it was built and remains the longest in the United Kingdom. The River Humber is lined by the major ports of Kingston upon Hull, Grimsby, and Immingham.

English Channel, also called The Channel, French La Manche, narrow arm of the Atlantic Ocean separating the southern coast of England from the northern coast of France and tapering eastward to its junction with the North Sea at the Strait of Dover (French: Pas de Calais). With an area of some 29,000 square miles (75,000 square kilometres), it is the smallest of the shallow seas covering the continental shelf of Europe. From its mouth in the North Atlantic Ocean?an arbitrary limit marked by a line between the Scilly Isles and the Isle of Ushant?its width gradually narrows from 112 miles (180 kilometres) to a minimum of 21 miles, while its average depth decreases from 400 to 150 feet (120 to 45 metres). Although the English Channel is a feature of notable scientific interest, especially in regard to tidal movements, its location has given it immense significance over the centuries, as both a route and a barrier during the peopling of Britain and the emergence of the nation-states of modern Europe. The current English name (in general use since the early 18th century) probably derives from the designation ?canal? in Dutch sea atlases of the late 16th century. Earlier names had included Oceanus Britannicus and the British Sea, and the French have regularly used La Manche (in reference to the sleevelike coastal outline) since the early 17th century.

Description:
Blue Geyser was called Iris Spring in 1886. Due to a misread map label, in 1904 the feature was inadvertently given its current name. It was observed to erupt to heights of over 60 feet from 1993 to 1996. It became almost dormant in 1997 and has remained very quiet ever since. Blue Geyser's last observed eruption was in February of 1997.

Upper Geyser Basin

South of Norris along the rim of the caldera is the Upper Geyser Basin, which has the highest concentration of geothermal features in the park. This complement of features includes the most famous geyser in the park, Old Faithful Geyser, as well as four other predictable large geysers. One of these large geysers in the area is Castle Geyser which is about 1,400 feet (430 m) northwest of Old Faithful. Castle Geyser has an interval of approximately 13 hours between major eruptions, but is unpredictable after minor eruptions.

The other three predictable geysers are Grand Geyser, Daisy Geyser, and Riverside Geyser. Biscuit Basin and Black Sand Basin are also within the boundaries of Upper Geyser Basin. The hills surrounding Old Faithful and the Upper Geyser Basin are reminders of Quaternary rhyolitic lava flows. These flows, occurring long after the catastrophic eruption of 640,000 years ago, flowed across the landscape like stiff mounds of bread dough due to their high silica content.

Evidence of glacial activity is common, and it is one of the keys that allows geysers to exist. Glacier till deposits underlie the geyser basins providing storage areas for the water used in eruptions. Many landforms, such as Porcupine Hills north of Fountain Flats, are made up of glacial gravel and are reminders that 70,000 to 14,000 years ago, this area was buried under ice. Signs of the forces of erosion can be seen everywhere, from runoff channels carved across the sinter in the geyser basins to the drainage created by the Firehole River. Mountain building is evident on the drive south of Old Faithful, toward Craig Pass. Here the Rocky Mountains reach a height of 8,262 feet (2,518 m), dividing the country into two distinct watersheds.

Euripus, Modern Greek Euripos, Evrípos, or Porthmós Evrípou, narrow strait in the Aegean Sea (an arm of the Mediterranean Sea), between the Greek island of Euboea (Modern Greek: Évvoia) and the mainland of central Greece. It is 5 miles (8 km) long and varies from 130 feet (40 metres) to 1 mile (1.6 km) in width. It has strong tidal currents (often reaching velocities of 12 knots) that reverse directions seven or more times a day. According to popular tradition, the ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle, in despair at his inability to solve the problem of their cause, drowned here; their cause is not fully understood today. The main port on the strait is Chalkída (also called Chalcis), in Euboea, an important trading centre since the times of ancient Greece. A 130-foot (40-metre) movable bridge spans the strait at Chalkída, replacing earlier structures that dated back to 411 bce.

Tokyo Bay, Japanese T?ky?-wan, inlet of the Pacific Ocean on the east-central coast of east-central Honshu, Japan. The bay lies at the heart of the Tokyo-Yokohama metropolitan area, with the major cities of Tokyo, Kawasaki, and Yokohama situated along its northwestern and western shore. The city of Yokosuka lies along the bay?s southwestern end, while Chiba lies along its northeastern shore. The bay is almost enclosed at its southern opening by the Miura (west) and B?s? (east) peninsulas. The bay is linked with the Pacific Ocean by the Uraga Channel, which lies between these two peninsulas. Much land has been reclaimed along the bay?s shoreline, and most of this is now used for industrial sites and port facilities that are part of the Keihin Industrial Zone. The bay averages only about 40 feet (12 metres) in depth. In 1986 construction began on the Trans-Tokyo Bay Highway (or Tokyo Bay Aqualine). Opened in 1997, the highway crosses the bay from Kawasaki on its western shore to Kisarazu on its eastern shore. The route includes a 5.9-mile (9.5 -km) undersea tunnel and a 2.7-mile (4.4-km) bridge, in addition to an artificial island built in the bay.

Waddenzee, shallow inlet of the North Sea between the West Frisian Islands and the northern Netherlands mainland. The inlet extends from Noord-Holland to the northeast, where the islands gradually curve toward the mainland and the channel narrows to a few miles. Until the completion of the IJsselmeer dam (Afsluitdijk), Waddenzee formed the northern part of the former Zuiderzee. A saltwater tidal delta, the Waddenzee consists of sand flats, mostly uncovered at low tide, intersected by deep channels. It connects with the North Sea through inlets between the West Frisian Islands, with depths to 150 feet (50 m). There is some fishing, and it is a refuge for waterfowl. The chief ports are Den Helder and Harlingen. In 2009 UNESCO designated the larger Wadden Sea tidal-flat region?which includes the Waddenzee area as well as two national parks in Germany?a World Heritage site.

Cook Strait, strait separating the North and South islands of New Zealand, extending northwest to southeast from the Tasman Sea to the south Pacific Ocean. About 14 miles (23 km) wide at its narrowest point, it averages 420 feet (128 m) in depth. Both shores are lined with steep cliffs, and that of the South Island is deeply embayed. Treacherous currents and fierce storms present serious hazards to navigation, and travel from Wellington (North Island) to Blenheim (South Island) is chiefly by rail ferry and air. Communications and electric-power cables follow the strait?s floor.

Folda, fjord, northern Norway. The fjord?s mouth opens into Vest Fjord of the Norwegian Sea and is 25 miles (40 km) northeast of the town of Bodø and about 75 miles (120 km) north of the Arctic Circle. The Folda extends two branches inland: the Nordfolda, 25 miles (40 km) long, and the Sørfolda, 18 miles (29 km) in length. Each is dotted with small fishing villages; herring is the main catch. The heads of both branches are crossed by the North Cape (Nordkapp) Highway connecting the coastal counties north of the fjord with the more densely settled portion of the country to the south.

Long Island Sound, semienclosed arm of the North Atlantic Ocean, lying between the New York?Connecticut (U.S.) shore to the north and Long Island to the south. Covering 1,180 square miles (3,056 square km), it is 90 miles (145 km) long and 3?20 miles (5?32 km) wide and is limited on the east by Orient Point (Long Island) and Plum, Gull, and Fishers islands and on the west by the narrow Throgs Neck, which leads into Upper New York Bay via the East River. Two glacial advances have deepened the sound?s water to more than 100 feet (30 m); near its eastern limits it reaches a maximum depth of 330 feet (100 m). The mean tidal range is from less than 3 feet (1 m) in its eastern reaches to more than 6 feet (about 2 m) in the west. The sound?s drainage basin is nearly 13 times its area, and the annual volume of incoming fresh water is about 35 percent of the total. Most of the drainage of the Housatonic, Connecticut, and Thames rivers flows out rapidly through the open eastern end of the sound and thus has little effect on the salinity. The sound?s waters are rich in plankton and bottom-dwelling organisms, making it favourable for young fish but deterring most commercially valuable fish. Except for menhaden processed for fish meal, the sound alone does not support an important fishery. The major sport fishing is for weakfish and bluefish. Lobsters, crabs, and clams are caught along the Connecticut shores, and oyster farms are found from Bridgeport, Conn., eastward. The sound is part of the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway, and around its shores are many residential communities and yachting resorts.

Bab el-Mandeb Strait, Arabic B?b al-Mandab , strait between Arabia (northeast) and Africa (southwest) that connects the Red Sea (northwest) with the Gulf of Aden and the Indian Ocean (southeast). The strait is 20 miles (32 km) wide and is divided into two channels by Perim Island; the western channel is 16 miles (26 km) across, and the eastern is 2 miles (3 km) wide. With the building of the Suez Canal, the strait assumed great strategic and economic importance, forming a portion of the link between the Mediterranean Sea and East Asia. The flow through this strait provides for the circulation between the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden, since no flow takes place through the Suez Canal. The strait?s Arabic name means ?the gate of tears,? so called from the dangers that formerly attended its navigation.

Maelstrom, Norwegian Moskenstraumen or Moskstraumen, marine channel and strong tidal current of the Norwegian Sea, in the Lofoten islands, northern Norway. Flowing between the islands of Moskenesøya (north) and Mosken (south), it has a treacherous current. About 5 miles (8 km) wide, alternating in flow between the open sea on the west and Vest Fjord on the east, the current may reach a speed of 7 miles (11 km) per hour with the changing of the tides, but the sea becomes calm in the moments when the tide switches direction. Strong local winds make the passage additionally dangerous. The word maelstrom entered the English language via the fiction of the French novelist Jules Verne and the American short-story writer Edgar Allan Poe, who exaggerated the current of the channel into a great whirlpool; the word in English designates a large, fatal whirlpool, engulfing vessels and men, or a figurative application of the idea.

Because of difficulty of access, development of the region was slow until the completion of a bridge across the Hawkesbury River in 1889. Early activities included the growing of sugarcane and bananas, shell burning (for lime), timbering, and shipbuilding. The area today is largely given to fishing ... (100 of 176 words)

Economic Geyser is a geyser in the Upper Geyser Basin of Yellowstone National Park in the United States.

Economic Geyser is small, usually inactive geyser located between the Giant Geyser group and the Grand Geyser group. Economic Geyser was once a popular, frequently-erupting geyser until it became essentially dormant in the 1920s.

Economic Geyser is believed to be named for its behavior during its active days. It is reported that most of the water ejected drained back into the vent after the eruption, thus making the geyser appear to conserve its water. It was most likely named by Frank Jay Haynes, the park photographer from 1883-1916.

The temperature of the water in geyser pools and other geothermal features can be judged by the color of the bacteria living in the water. Changes in the size and color of bacteria mats at Economic Geyser imply that the geyser is heating up. Photographs of the geyser vent taken in the 1990s show a quiet pool very dark with algae. Photographs of the vent taken in 2006 show a pool of clear water with traces of the bacterial colors associated with higher temperatures.

Queen Charlotte Sound, broad, deep inlet of the eastern North Pacific indenting west-central British Columbia, Canada. Bounded on the north by Haida Gwaii (formerly the Queen Charlotte Islands) and on the south by Vancouver Island, the sound feeds into a series of straits that once were avenues followed by the continental glaciers as they pushed out to sea. To the north lies Hecate Strait. To the south the sound tapers to Queen Charlotte Strait, a passage 60 miles (100 km) long by 16 miles (26 km) wide threading between Vancouver Island and the mainland to the Strait of Georgia and Puget Sound. These interlocking channels constitute a portion of the Inside Passage from Washington state to Alaska. The sound is bared to the open ocean on the west, while its eastern border is a complex of islands, inlets, and fjords, some of which penetrate far inland.

The Alexander Archipelago of southeastern Alaska lies to the north and British Columbia?s Haida Gwaii (formerly the Queen Charlotte Islands) to the south. Part of the United States?Canadian border follows the entrance. Once a path followed by the great continental glaciers as they pushed out to sea, the passage now serves as the principal approach to the port of Prince Rupert, British Columbia.

The strait trends north-south between the Jutland (Jylland) peninsula and Sjælland (Zealand) island of Denmark (west and south) and Sweden (east); it connects through the Skagerrak (north) with the North Sea and through The Sound and the Great Belt and Little Belt (south) with the Baltic Sea. Covering an area of 9,840 square miles (25,485 square km), the Kattegat is 137 miles (220 km) long, varies in width from 37 to 88 miles (approximately 60 to 142 km), and has a mean depth of 84 feet (26 metres). A surface flow of fresh water from the Baltic Sea lowers the strait?s salinity to 30 parts per 1,000. The Danish islands of Læsø, Anholt, and Samsø are within the strait. The chief ports are Gothenburg and Halmstad in Sweden and Århus in Denmark. The Kattegat is an important commercial navigation passage and a popular summer vacation area.

Limfjorden, strait (110 miles [180 km] long) across northern Jutland, Denmark, connecting the North Sea and the Kattegat and separating the Vendsyssel and Thy regions from the mainland. Actually a series of fjords dotted with inlets and islands, it opens into a lagoon (15 miles [24 km] wide) in its middle course, then becomes narrow from Ålborg to the Kattegat. The strait is crossed by several bridges, and a road tunnel connects Ålborg and Nørresundby. Shallow in parts (maximum depth is about 82 feet [25 metres]), it has been deepened to aid shipping. Its western outlet at Thyborøn was open during the Viking period but silted up in the Middle Ages creating freshwater lakes, which drained into the Kattegat from the eastern end. In 1825 the tide of the North Sea broke through the western part, and the Thyborøn Kanal was cut in 1875 to keep the outlet open.

Denizli Province
Hot Springs in Aegean Turkey

Pamukkale, meaning "cotton castle" in Turkish, is a natural site in Denizli Province in southwestern Turkey. The city contains hot springs and travertines, terraces of carbonate minerals left by the flowing water. It is located in Turkey's Inner Aegean region, in the River Menderes valley, which has a temperate climate for most of the year.

The ancient Greco-Roman and Byzantine city of Hierapolis was built on top of the white "castle" which is in total about 2,700 metres (8,860 ft) long, 600 m (1,970 ft) wide and 160 m (525 ft) high. It can be seen from the hills on the opposite side of the valley in the town of Denizli, 20 km away.

Tourism is and has been a major industry. People have bathed in its pools for thousands of years. As recently as the mid-20th century, hotels were built over the ruins of Heropolis, causing considerable damage. An approach road was built from the valley over the terraces, and motor bikes were allowed to go up and down the slopes. When the area was declared a World Heritage Site, the hotels were demolished and the road removed and replaced with artificial pools. Wearing shoes in the water is prohibited to protect the deposits.

Museum
The former Roman Bath of the ancient city of Hierapolis has been used as the site of the Hierapolis Archaeology Museum since 1984. In this museum, alongside historical artifacts from Hierapolis, there are also artifacts from Laodiceia, Colossae, Tripolis, Attuda and other towns of the Lycos (Çürüksu) valley. In addition to these, the museum has a large section devoted to artifacts found at Beycesultan Hüyük that includes some of the most beautiful examples of Bronze Age craft.

Artifacts from the Caria, Pisidia and Lydia regions are also on display in this museum. The museum’s exhibition space consists of three closed areas of the Hierapolis Bath and the open areas in the eastern side which are known to have been used as the library and gymnasium. The artifacts in open exhibition space are mostly marble and stone.

Tourist attraction
Pamukkale is a tourist attraction. It is recognized as a World Heritage Site together with Hierapolis. Hierapolis-Pamukkale was made a World Heritage Site in 1988. The underground volcanic activity which causes the hot springs also forced carbon dioxide into a cave, which was called the Plutonium meaning place of the god, Pluto. This cave was used for religious purposes by priests of Cybele, who found ways to appear immune to the suffocating gas.

It extends eastward for 15 miles (24 km) from The Needles, a group of rocks west of the Isle of Wight, to Southampton Water, an inlet serving the port of Southampton; its breadth is between 1.75 and 4 miles (3 and 6 km). The strait is the submerged valley of a former eastward-flowing river of which the present Frome was headstream and the Itchen and Test were tributaries. East of The Solent, Spithead, the drowned eastern portion of the same valley, affords a safer approach to Southampton for large vessels. The mainland low coast is broken by the estuaries of the Beaulieu and Lym rivers; the coast of Wight, which rises more steeply, is cut by the Medina, Newton, and Yar estuaries.

Moreton Bay, shallow inlet of the Pacific Ocean, indenting southeastern Queensland, Australia. Sheltered on the north by Bribie Island and on the east and south by Moreton and Stradbroke islands, the bay measures 65 by 20 miles (105 by 32 km). It is filled with numerous shoals, and some low islands lie to the south. In 1770 the British navigator Captain James Cook sailed through South Passage between the main offshore islands leading to the bay, which he named after James Douglas, 14th Earl of Morton. The name, misspelled, was also originally applied to the mainland area that eventually became Queensland. The bay, explored in 1823 by John Oxley, was the site of the state?s first settlement, a penal colony established in 1824 at Redcliffe. Receiving the Brisbane River, the bay is the gateway to the port of Brisbane, with the primary shipping channel passing between Bribie and Moreton. Its waters yield game and commercial fish.

Lower Geyser Basin
Further north is the Lower Geyser Basin, which has a much less concentrated set of geothermal features, including Fountain Paint Pots. Fountain Paint Pots are mud pots, that is, a hot spring that contains boiling mud instead of water. The mud is produced by a higher acidity in the water which enables the spring to dissolve surrounding minerals to create an opaque, usually grey, mud. Also found in this basin is Great Fountain Geyser, whose eruptions reach 100 to 200 feet (30–61 m) in the air, while waves of water cascade down its sinter terraces.

Gulf of Tadjoura, French Golfe de Tadjoura , gulf indenting the coastline of Djibouti, eastern Africa, located at the extreme western end of the Gulf of Aden. It provides some shelter for the port of Djibouti on the southeastern shore of the gulf. The gulf is 35 miles (56 km) wide at the mouth and 50 miles long, with a depth of as much as 3,550 feet (1,082 m) near the centre. It is about 164 feet deep off the coast of Djibouti. The coastline is rather barren and inhospitable, inhabited mostly by pastoral nomads. Obock and Tadjoura are the only other towns of any importance along the gulf, neither of which is a major port. The closing of the Suez Canal from 1967 to 1975 decreased shipping traffic in the gulf, although its importance grew during the Persian Gulf War (1990?91).

Bead Geyser

Elevation: 7,346 ft.

Bead Geyser is a fountain-type geyser in the Lower Geyser Basin of Yellowstone National Park in the United States.

Bead Geyser is part of the Pink Cone Group. Other geysers in this groups are Box Spring, Dilemma Geyser, Labial Geyser, Narcissus Geyser, Pink Geyser, and Pink Cone Geyser. Eruptions of Bead Geyser last about 2½ minutes and are 25 feet (7.6 m) high. Bead is an extremely regular geyser. The interval between eruptions is 28–36 minutes. This changes with time but the average for any given time hardly varies. The duration is also highly regular at about 150 seconds.

Bead Geyser was named after the geyser eggs, loose spherical pieces of geyserite, that used to be found near the geyser. Over the decades since it was discovered, souvenir hunters have removed all of the geyser eggs.

Riverside Geyser is a geyser in Yellowstone National Park in the U.S. state of Wyoming. The geyser is located on the Firehole River within the Upper Geyser Basin.

The geyser shoots steam and water to heights of 75 feet (23 m) in an arch over the river, sometimes causing brilliant rainbows. The eruptions occur every 51⁄2 to 7 hours.

Riverside is one of the most predictable geysers in the park, because it is not located near any other geysers that may disrupt the flow of underground water in the geyser's plumbing. Riverside is unique in its way that eruptions seldom occur at the average interval for any given time. Instead, Riverside is bimodal, meaning it usually erupts 20 minutes before or 25 minutes late for a duration of 20 minutes. The bimodality does not represent a problem for predictions if the previous erupt time is seen. If not, you are predicting on doubles and triples, which leads to a wide range for uncertainty. For an hour or two before the eruption, water pours over the edge of the cone.

The geyser was named by the Hayden Geological Survey of 1871. The geyser is one of the most reliable geysers in Yellowstone, despite the moniker and reputation of the better-known Old Faithful.

Pink Geyser

Pink Geyser is a fountain-type geyser in the Lower Geyser Basin of Yellowstone National Park in the United States.

Pink Geyser is part of the Pink Cone Group. Other geysers in this groups include Bead Geyser, Box Spring, Dilemma Geyser, Labial Geyser, Narcissus Geyser, and Pink Cone Geyser.

Eruptions of Pink Geyser last about 12 minutes and reach 20 feet (6.1 m) in height and ends with a steam-phase. The interval between eruptions is 2 to 12 hours averaging about 6.5 hours.

Pink Geyser was named for the shell-pink color of the geyserite around its vent which is a caused by the presence of manganese and iron oxides. The same color marks other geysers in the immediate area, including Pink Cone Geyser and Narcissus Geyser, indicating some communality but they do not appear to interact.

Labial Geyser is a cone-type geyser in the Lower Geyser Basin of Yellowstone National Park in the United States.

Labial Geyser is part of the Pink Cone Group. Other geysers in this groups are Bead Geyser, Box Spring, Dilemma Geyser, Narcissus Geyser, Pink Geyser, and Pink Cone Geyser.

Eruptions of Labial Geyser last for less than two minutes and are 25 feet (7.6 m) high. The usual interval between eruptions is 6 to 9 hours. On occasion, an eruption will be followed within 30 minutes by a second eruption. Before the eruption, the water rises and falls in the vent. During the last few minutes Labial's on surging becomes violent, and this eventually triggers an eruption. During the eruption, Labial jets up to 25 feet high at a sharp angle, another vent bursts up to 6 feet high, and a related springs splashes 1-2 feet high. Following the eruption, Labial continues to have bursts that spray water from the vent, and these rarely lead to a brief but full-force second or even third eruption.

Labial Geyser has two satellite geysers that react to Labial eruptions but have been seen to act independently as well. Their intervals are not predictable with durations of less than a minute. The east vent reaches 6 feet (1.8 m), while the west reaches 10 feet (3.0 m).

Grand Prismatic Spring

The Grand Prismatic Spring in Yellowstone National Park is the largest hot spring in the United States, and the third largest in the World, after Frying Pan Lake in New Zealand and Boiling Lake. It is located in the Midway Geyser Basin.

Grand Prismatic Spring was noted by geologists working in the Hayden Geological Survey of 1871, and named by them for its striking coloration. Its colors include blue, green, yellow, orange, red and brown, and recall the rainbow disperson of white light by an optical prism. The vivid colors in the spring are the result of pigmented bacteria in the microbial mats that grow around the edges of the mineral-rich water.

The bacteria produce colors ranging from green to red; the amount of color in the microbial mats depends on the ratio of chlorophyll to carotenoids and on the temperature of the water which favors one bacterium over another. In the summer, the mats tend to be orange and red, whereas in the winter the mats are usually dark green.

The center of the pool is sterile due to extreme heat. The deep blue color of the water in the center of the pool results from the intrinsic blue color of water, itself the result of water's selective absorption of red wavelengths of visible light. Though this effect is responsible for making all large bodies of water blue, it is particularly intense in Grand Prismatic Spring because of the high purity and depth of the water in the middle of the spring.

The spring is approximately 250 by 300 feet (80 by 90 m) in size and is 160 feet (50 m) deep. The spring discharges an estimated 560 US gallons (2,100 L) of 160 °F (70 °C) water per minute.

Plitvi?ka Lakes, also spelled Plitvice Lakes, Croatian Plitvi?ka Jezera, continuous chain of 16 lakes and many waterfalls in western Croatia. The chain, 5 miles (8 km) in length, begins with two mountain streams that join near Plitvi?ki Ljeskovac to form the Matica River. The river feeds Lake Pro??e, the highest in elevation, and then flows by a number of waterfalls and smaller lakes into Lake Kozjak, the largest. Of the many cascades and falls, Plitvice and the Sastavci falls are the most spectacular, particularly during the spring snow melt. The lakes are the focal point of Plitvi?ka Lakes National Park, which is also a nature reserve.

Denmark Strait, channel partially within the Arctic Circle, lying between Greenland (west) and Iceland (east). About 180 miles (290 km) wide at its narrowest point, the strait extends southward for 300 miles (483 km) from the Greenland Sea to the open waters of the North Atlantic Ocean. The cold East Greenland Current flows southward along the west side of the strait and carries icebergs, which originate in the Arctic Ocean and on the Greenland ice cap; a branch of the warmer Irminger Current flows northward near the Iceland coast.

Saronikós Gulf, also spelled Saronic Gulf, also called Gulf of Aegina or Gulf of Aígina, gulf of the Aegean Sea between Ákra (cape) Soúnion of the Attica (Modern Greek: Attikí) peninsula and Ákra Skíllaion of the Argolís peninsula of the Greek Peloponnese (Pelopónnisos). A maximum of 50 mi (80 km) long northwest-southeast and about 30 mi wide, it is linked on the west to the Gulf of Corinth (Korinthiakós) by the Corinth Canal. At its widest point the gulf is divided by three of the Saronic islands: Salamís, Aígina, and Póros. Piraeus, the port of Athens (Athína) and largest port of Greece, is situated due east of Salamís; the ports of Elevsís and Mégara lie north and northwest, respectively, of Salamís. Off the much indented coast of Salamís, Athenian naval and land forces achieved a crushing victory over a massive Persian naval force in 480 bce.

Intracoastal Waterway, navigable toll-free shipping route, extending for about 3,000 miles (4,800 km) along the Atlantic Ocean and Gulf of Mexico coasts in the southern and eastern United States. It utilizes sounds, bays, lagoons, rivers, and canals and is usable in many portions by deep-draft vessels. The route is federally maintained and is connected to inland waterways in many places. It was originally planned to form a continuous channel from New York City to Brownsville, Texas, but the necessary canal link through northern Florida was never completed; hence, it is now in two separate sections?the Atlantic and the Gulf.

Turban Geyser

Elevation: 7,405 ft.

Turban Geyser is a geyser in the Upper Geyser Basin of Yellowstone National Park in the United States.

Turban Geyser belongs to the Grand Group (or Grand Geyser Complex), and its eruption is tied to Grand Geyser. In the hours prior to Grand's eruption, Turban will have five minute eruptions every 15–25 minutes. These eruptions measure 5–10 feet (2–3 m) in height. During Grand's eruption, Turban erupts continuously reaching up to 20 feet (6 m). Following an eruption of Grand, Turban will continue to erupt intermittently for an hour or so along with Vent Geyser. At times, it is not possible to see Turban erupting through the steam and spray of Grand Geyser.

Turban Gesyer was named for the similarity in appearance of the sinter deposits in its basin to the turban headpiece. Dr. A.C. Peale named the geyser in 1872.

Haro Strait, passage of the eastern North Pacific, lying between Vancouver and Saturna islands of the province of British Columbia, Canada (west), and San Juan and Stuart islands of the state of Washington, U.S. (east). Part of the United States?Canadian border passes down the centre of the strait, which extends north to the Strait of Georgia and south to Juan de Fuca Strait. Mid-channel depths average 600?900 feet (180?275 m), but at its southern end submerged islands reduce the depth to 60?300 feet. Vessels approaching the city of Vancouver usually follow Haro Strait through the islands to the Strait of Georgia. The strait was named for Gonzalo López de Haro, a Spaniard who probably explored the waters in 1790.

Baby Daisy Geyser

Elevation: 7,280 ft.

Baby Daisy Geyser is a geyser in the Upper Geyser Basin of Yellowstone National Park in the United States. It is part of the Old Road group of geysers.

Baby Daisy goes through periods of activity with years of inactivity in between. The most recent active period occurred from 2003 to 2004. During this time, it erupted for a duration of two and three minutes, with intervals of 33 to 39 minutes between eruptions. The height of its eruptions are 20 to 25 feet (6.1 to 7.6 m).

Baby Daisy received its name from the fact that its eruptions are nearly identical to the Daisy Geyser although on a smaller scale. Eruptions fountain water at about 30 degrees from vertical, the same angle as Daisy Geyser.

Daisy Geyser

Daisy Geyser is a geyser in the Upper Geyser Basin of Yellowstone National Park in the United States.

Daisy Geyser is part of the Daisy Group. It was named prior to 1890 by the Hague Party. It erupts every 110 to 240 minutes for a period of 3 to 5 minutes and is one of the most predictable geysers in the park. Its fountain erupts at an angle to the ground and reaches a height of 75 feet (23 m). The interval between eruptions can be temporarily altered by an eruption of nearby Splendid Geyser.

To a smaller degree, Brilliant Pool and Comet Geyser are influenced by Splendid and Daisy. Daisy Geyser was one of the Yellowstone geysers that had its eruption interval disrupted by the 2002 Denali earthquake, in Alaska. Immediately after the quake, the interval rapidly decreased but returned to previous intervals over the course of a few weeks.

Alexander Bay, inlet of the Atlantic Ocean at the mouth of the Orange River on the extreme northwest coast of Northern Cape province, South Africa. Its mouth is less than 3 miles (5 km) wide and is nearly closed by sandbars, which are widely breached during high floods. The gap in the southern end of the bars is maintained by the outflow of water from the river mouth during low tides and by the tidal inflow at high tides. The town of Alexander Bay, a diamond-mining centre, is located on the inlet.

Kangerlussuaq, Danish Søndre Strømfjord , fjord in southwestern Greenland, located just north of the Arctic Circle and 60 miles (95 km) southeast of Sisimiut (Holsteinsborg). About 120 miles (190 km) long and 1?5 miles (1.5?8 km) wide, the fjord extends northeastward from Davis Strait to the edge of the inland ice cap, where its arms are fed by several glaciers. Near the head of the fjord is the town of Kangerlussuaq, the site of Greenland?s main international airport. Established as Bluie West 8 (BW 8), a U.S. World War II air base, the airport served for many years as a transpolar intermediate stop between Scandinavia and North America. It was abandoned as a U.S. base in 1992 and taken over by Greenland?s home rule government. The town is also a centre for tourism and scientific activities.

Northwest Passage, historical sea passage of the North American continent, representing centuries of effort to find a route from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean through the Arctic archipelago of what became Canada. One of the world?s severest maritime challenges, the route is located 500 miles (800 km) north of the Arctic Circle and less than 1,200 miles (1,930 km) from the North Pole. It consists of a series of deep channels through Canada?s Arctic Islands, extending about 900 miles (1,450 km) east to west, from north of Baffin Island to the Beaufort Sea, above Alaska. To reach the Northwest Passage from the Atlantic requires a hazardous voyage through a stream of about 50,000 giant icebergs, up to 300 feet (90 m) in height, constantly drifting south between Greenland and Baffin Island. The exit to the Pacific is equally formidable, because the polar ice cap presses down on Alaska?s shallow north coast much of the year and funnels masses of ice into the Bering Strait, between Alaska and Siberia.

Lake Ellesmere, coastal lagoon, eastern South Island, New Zealand, just west of Banks Peninsula. It measures 14 by 8 miles (23 by 13 km) and is 70 square miles (180 square km) in area. Receiving runoff from a 745-square-mile (1,930-square-kilometre) basin through several streams, principal of which is the Selwyn (entering through a delta from the north), Lake Ellesmere is brackish and is no deeper than 7 feet (2 m). It is isolated from the Pacific by the Kaitorete Spit, a gravel formation created by materials eroded from the Canterbury Plain and carried north by shore currents. There is no natural channel through the spit, but, to prevent rising waters from inundating market-gardening areas on reclaimed sections of the swampy shore, an opening has been dug at Taumutu in the southwest. The lake is host to great flocks of waterfowl. Its Maori name, Waihora, means ?wide waters.?

Excelsior Geyser Crater, formerly known as Excelsior Geyser, is a hot spring in the Midway Geyser Basin of Yellowstone National Park in the United States. Excelsior was named by the Hayden Geological Survey of 1871. Possibly the only known photograph of Excelsior in full eruption was taken by Frank Jay Haynes in 1888.

The Excelsior Geyser pool discharges 4,000 to 4,500 gallons (15,100–17,000 l) of 199 °F (93 °C). of water per minute directly into the Firehole River. In the late 19th century (there was possibly some activity in 1901 too) it was an active geyser that erupted frequently. Most eruptions were "only" 100 feet high, but some exceeded 300 feet (91 m) and were as wide as they were high. It is believed that powerful eruptions damaged its internal plumbing system, and it now boils as a productive hot spring most of the time.

There are several volcanic islands within the strait, the most famous of which is Krakatoa, which erupted on August 27, 1883, causing a tsunami with waves as high as 125 feet (38 metres) that destroyed 300 towns and villages and killed about 36,000 people. The strait was the scene of an encounter between Allied and Japanese forces in March 1942. The Sunda Strait is an important passage connecting the Indian Ocean with eastern Asia.

Strait of Dover, French Pas de Calais, Latin Gallicum Fretum, narrow water passage separating England (northwest) from France (southeast) and connecting the English Channel (southwest) with the North Sea (northeast). The strait is 18 to 25 miles (30 to 40 km) wide, and its depth ranges from 120 to 180 feet (35 to 55 metres). Until the comparatively recent geologic past (c. 5000 bce), the strait was an exposed river valley, thus making England an extension of the European continent. Because of the prevailing winds, the main flow of water through the strait is from the southwest, but a persistent northeast wind can reverse the current. The white cliffs on the British side, composed of soft chalk, are receding because of erosion. Although the strait is one of the world?s busiest seaways, a strict system of traffic lanes and navigation information became mandatory only in 1977.

Young Hopeful Geyser

Young Hopeful Geyser is a geyser in the Lower Geyser Basin of Yellowstone National Park in the United States.

Young Hopeful Geyser is part of the Black Warrior Group which includes Artesia Geyser, Gray Bulger Geyser, and Steady Geyser. Young Hopeful is a collection of several vents which, depending on the seasonal water table, erupt either continuously or intermittently. The vent nearest Firehole Lake have gone dormant while the ones near the boardwalk trail have become more active. The two largest vents often reach about 2 feet (0.61 m) but sometimes surge to 6 feet (1.8 m).

Kara-Bogaz-Gol Gulf, Russian Zaliv Kara-Bogaz-Gol, Turkmen Garabogazköl Aylagy, inlet of the eastern Caspian Sea in northwestern Turkmenistan. With an area of 4,600?5,000 square miles (12,000?13,000 square km), it averages only 33 feet (10 m) in depth and has a very high evaporation rate. The water is thus extremely saline, and 7,000?11,000 cubic feet (200?300 cubic m) of water a second are drawn in from the Caspian through the narrow strait between the two sandy spits separating the gulf from the sea. The gulf has the world?s largest deposit of natural marine salts.

Artesia Geyser

Artesia Geyser is a geyser in the Lower Geyser Basin of Yellowstone National Park in the United States. Artesia Geyser is part of the Black Warrior Group which includes Young Hopeful Geyser, Gray Bulger Geyser, and Steady Geyser.

Artesia is a perpetual geyser that is never stops ejecting water from at least one of its two cones, usually no more than 5 ft (1.5 m). One vent is angeled toward the boardwalk that passes the geyser and the other is angled toward the Firehole River.

During a period in 1999, one of the cones jetted to a distance of 12 ft (3.7 m) while the other emitted only steam.

About 2 miles (3 km) wide, it extends inland for 12 miles (19 km). From the heights of Mitre Peak (5,560 feet [1,695 m]) and Pembroke Peak (6,710 feet), the valley walls plunge steeply beneath the water, reaching a depth of 1,680 feet (512 m) near the fjord?s head. The sound is entered by the Arthur and Cleddau rivers from the main valley and by the Bowen, Sinbad, Harrison, and Stirling rivers from side valleys.

Most of the time when I have dove this site, I have began with the second half of the site Yucab and then moved into the beginning half of Tormentos. It is a shallower dive, making it normally the second dive of the trip. Normally a fairly strong current, making it easy to do both of the dive sites at once. My favorite thing at this spot is all of the sea turtles! One dive I think I saw 7 or 8 and it was spectacular! Definitely a site to check out

Hot Springs near Xi'an

Huaqing Hot Springs or the Huaqing Pool are a complex of hot springs located in an area characterized by mild weather and scenic views at the northern foot of Mount Li, one of the three major peaks of the Qin Mountains. The Huaqing hotspring pools are located approximately 25 km east of Xi'an (formerly Chang'an, the western capital of the Tang Dynasty), now in the province of Shaanxi, China. Built in 723 by Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang dynasty as part of the Huaqing Palace.

The hot springs became famous as the supposed scene of Xuanzong's love story with his Precious Consort Yang Guifei. The Huaqing Pool utilizes natural geothermal heating, as was taken advantage of by the rulers of various Chinese dynasties. This site was the scene of the Xi'an Incident in 1936, when Chiang Kai-shek was kidnapped by former warlord Zhang Xueliang and forced to participate in a United Front with the Chinese Communist Party to oppose Japanese encroachment on China. Huaqing Pool is now an important tourist spot, classified as a AAAAA scenic area by the China National Tourism Administration.

Strait of Georgia, narrow passage of the eastern North Pacific between the central east coast of Vancouver Island and the southwest mainland of British Columbia, Canada. It averages 138 miles (222 km) in length and 17 miles (28 km) in width. To the north the strait ends in a jumble of islands separating it from Johnstone and Queen Charlotte straits farther north. The southern end is marked by the San Juan Islands of the U.S. state of Washington. Texada and Lasqueti islands are the largest within the strait, which has a midchannel depth of 900?1,200 feet (275?370 m). The mainland coast is cut by many inlets, one of which is the mouth of the Fraser River and the site of Vancouver. The Fraser?s outflow aids a general counterclockwise movement of water in the strait, known locally as the Gulf. The strait forms a link in the scenic and sheltered Inside Passage sea route between Seattle, Wash., and Skagway, Alaska. Its name, honouring George III, was conferred by Captain George Vancouver in 1792.

Abyss Pool

Abyss Pool is a hot spring in the West Thumb Geyser Basin of Yellowstone National Park in the United States.

The pool was named by Chief Park Naturalist Clyde M. Bauer, possibly after a reference to Lieutenant G.C. Doane's 1870 description of a spring in this area which spoke of the visibility of objects in the "deep abysses" of the pool. A visitor in 1883 described it as "a great, pure, sparkling sapphire rippling with heat."

Abyss Pool has a depth of 53 feet (16 m). The pool erupted for the first time in recorded history between August 1987 and September 1991 and again between December 1991 and June 1992. The eruptions were between 30 feet (9.1 m) and 100 feet (30 m) high. Since 1992, the pool has returned to its non-eruptive state.

Doublet Pool is 8 feet (2.4 m) deep and its temperature is approximately 194.4 °F (90.2 °C). Its scalloped edge is made of geyserite. Although geysers rarely occur in Doublet Pool, only two or three have been seen; the pool on the right pulses over the vents about every two hours. Sometimes, there will be vibrations, surface wave motion, and thumping; these are probably caused by collapsing gas and steam bubbles deep underground.

Emerald Spring is a hot spring located in Norris Geyser Basin of Yellowstone National Park.

Originally named Emerald Geyser by Philetus Norris, park superintendent (1877–1882) because of its color, the name was later officially changed to Emerald Spring by the U.S. Geological Survey in 1930. Emerald Spring is 27 feet (8.2 m) deep. The water temperature in the spring is around 83.3 °C (181.9 °F).

The spring gets its name from the emerald green color of the water created by sunlight filtering through the water, giving the light a blue color, and reflecting off the yellow sulphur creating the green hue.

While Emerald Spring is a mostly calm pool, which usually only has a few bubbles rising to the surface, it does experience periods of turbidity and small 3-foot (1 m) high eruptions. In 1931, Emerald experienced a period of extremely vigorous activity with eruptions measuing 60 to 75 feet (18.2–22.9 m) in height.

It is 250 miles (400 km) long and 100 miles (160 km) wide. The discovery of this body of water, reached from the east by Sir William Edward Parry (1819?20) and from the west (1850?54) by Sir Robert McClure, proved the existence of the Northwest Passage and provided passage through the Arctic archipelago. A crossroads of Arctic waterways, the sound lies between Banks, Victoria, and Prince of Wales islands on the south and Melville and Bathurst islands on the north. This section of the Northwest Passage is navigable only under favourable weather conditions.

Gulf of Khambhat, also called Gulf of Cambay, trumpet-shaped gulf of the Arabian Sea, indenting northward the coast of Gujarat state, western India, between Mumbai (Bombay) and the Kathiawar Peninsula. It is 120 miles (190 km) wide at its mouth between Diu and Daman, but it rapidly narrows to 15 miles (24 km). The gulf receives many rivers, including the Sabarmati, Mahi, Narmada (Narbada), and Tapti. Its shape and its orientation in relation to the southwest monsoon winds account for its high tidal range (40 feet [12 metres]) and the high velocity of the entering tides. Shoals and sandbanks are treacherous to navigation, and all the gulf ports have suffered from silting caused by tides and flood torrents from the rivers.

Black Growler

Elevation: 7,880 ft.
Location: Norris Geyser Basin

Situated at a short driving distance of 10.43 miles from Canyon Village, Wyoming and 17.79 miles from Mammoth, Wyoming.

The hottest of Yellowstone's geothermal features are steam vents (fumaroles). Black Growler Steam Vent, on the hillside in front of you, has measured 199 to 280 degrees F (93 to 138 degrees C). A plentiful water supply would help cool these features; however, steam vents are usually found on hillsides or higher ground, above the basin's water supply. They rapidly boil away what little water they contain, releasing steam and other gases forcefully from underground.

Gulf of Alaska, broad inlet of the North Pacific on the south coast of Alaska, U.S. Bounded by the Alaska Peninsula and Kodiak Island (west) and Cape Spencer (east), it has a surface area of 592,000 square miles (1,533,000 square km). The coast is deeply indented by fjords and other inlets, including Cook Inlet and Prince William Sound (on either side of the Kenai Peninsula). The gulf receives the Susitna and Copper rivers. Large glaciers cast off huge icebergs, which are taken out to sea by the Alaska Current. Rising from the gulf?s shores in Alaska are the high Chugach, Kenai, Fairweather, and St. Elias mountains. Ports along the gulf include Anchorage, Seward, and North America?s northernmost ice-free harbour, Valdez, which is the trans-Alaskan pipeline terminal.

Straits near Ukkusissat

Torsukattak Strait is a strait in the Qaasuitsup municipality in northwestern Greenland. Located in the northeastern part of Uummannaq Fjord, it separates the Ukkusissat Peninsula in the northeast from Appat Island in the southwest. The strait waterway is an extension of Itillarsuup Kangerlua fjord.
Its northwestern mouth opens into the Uummannaq Fjord 4 km southwest of the Ukkusissat settlement. Qaqortuatsiaq, located on the northern coast of Appat Island near the shore of the strait is a former marble quarry, now abandoned. Mining activities in the area are likely to resume in the future, providing an economic lifeline to the communities of the Uummannaq region, keeping the relatively new Qaarsut Airport open.

Liberty Cap
This 37-foot (11-m) hot spring cone marks the northern portion of Mammoth Hot Springs. Liberty Cap was named in 1871 by the Hayden Survey party because of its marked resemblance to the peaked caps worn during the French Revolution. Its unusual formation was created by a hot spring whose plumbing remained open and in one location for a long time. Its internal pressure was sufficient to raise the water to a great height, allowing mineral deposits to build continuously for perhaps hundreds of years.

Location: Norris Geyser Basin

Steamboat Geyser, in Yellowstone National Park's Norris Geyser Basin, is the World's tallest currently-active geyser. During major eruptions, water may be thrown more than 300 feet (90 m) into the air.

Steamboat's major eruptions last from 3 to 40 minutes in length, and are followed by powerful jets of steam. Steamboat does not erupt on a predictable schedule with recorded intervals between major eruptions ranging from four days to fifty years. The geyser was dormant from 1911 to 1961. Minor eruptions of 10 to 15 feet (3–5 m) are much more frequent. After an eruption the geyser often vents large amounts of steam for up to 48 hours. Cistern Spring, located nearby, will drain completely during a major eruption of the geyser; the spring refills within a few days.

Prior to 1904, Waimangu Geyser, in New Zealand, had some taller eruptions capable of reaching 1,600 feet (490 m) but in 1904 a landslide changed the local water table and since then Waimangu has not erupted. Excelsior Geyser in Yellowstone's Midway Geyser Basin likewise was taller, with eruptions reaching 300 feet (91 m). However, Excelsior has not erupted since 1985, and is now classified as a hot spring.

Jade Bay, German Jadebusen, bay, Lower Saxony Land (state), northwestern Germany. It is a broad inlet of the North Sea that covers an area of 73 square miles (190 square km). Formed for the most part by storm floods that occurred in 1219 and 1511, the generally shallow bay is fed by several small streams, including the Jade River. In springtime, the 13.5-foot (4.1-metre) difference between high and low tide is the greatest on the German North Sea coast. The port of Wilhelmshaven is situated on its northwest coast. The bay and its shore are part of the Lower Saxony Wadden Sea National Park.

Chromatic Spring

Elevation: 7,331 ft.

Chromatic Spring is a hot spring in the Upper Geyser Basin of Yellowstone National Park in the United States.

It is connected to the nearby Beauty Pool. When the water level in one of the two pools rises and overflows, the water level in the other decreases. These fluctuations in water level take place over periods ranging from a few weeks to several years. During this energy shift, the temperatures can change about 10 °F (−12 °C). Its temperature ranges from 164 to 175 °F (73 to 79 °C).

Grand Geyser

Grand Geyser is a Fountain Geyser in the Upper Geyser Basin of Yellowstone National Park in the United States. It is the tallest predictable geyser known. It was named by Dr. F.V. Hayden in 1871.

Grand's fountain reaches a height of as much as 200 feet (61 m), with a duration of 9 to 12 minutes. Its eruptions occur in a series of 1 to 4 (rarely as many as 5) bursts.

Sequence

Grand erupts every 7 to 15 hours. It belongs to the Grand Group (or Grand Geyser Complex), and its eruption is connected to those of the other geysers in the group, especially the adjacent Vent Geyser and Turban Geyser.

For a few hours before an eruption by Grand, Turban Geyser erupts for a duration of five minutes about every 20 minutes. Grand's eruption begins within 1 to 2 minutes of one of Turban's eruptions with Vent Geyser erupting shortly after Grand. On occasions, Grand will stop erupting after 8 minutes only to restart with a taller fountain a minute or two later. Grand has been known to rarely experience over half a dozen restarts in a single eruption period. After Grand ceases its eruption, Vent and Turban continue erupting for another hour.

Gulf of California, also called Sea of Cortez, Spanish Golfo de California, or Mar de Cortés, large inlet of the eastern Pacific Ocean along the northwestern coast of Mexico. It is enclosed by the Mexican mainland to the east and by the mountainous peninsula of Baja California to the west. There are two schools of thought as to the origin of the gulf. One holds that it is structurally a part of the Pacific Ocean; the other is that Baja California is slowly pulling away from the continent as it moves north along the great San Andreas Fault system. Over the last 100 million years the peninsula?s movement has probably totaled 300 miles (480 km). There also may have been some vertical movement forcing the peninsula upward and the gulf downward.

Gulf of Shelikhov, also spelled ?elichov, Russian Zaliv Shelikhova, gulf lying off far eastern Russia, a northward extension of the Sea of Okhotsk lying between the Siberian mainland on the west and the Kamchatka Peninsula on the east. The gulf extends northward for 420 miles (670 km) and has a maximum width of 185 miles (300 km). The average depth of the sea there is 330 to 490 feet (100 to 150 metres), though at maximum it reaches 1,624 feet (495 metres). The coasts are largely rugged, except in the southeast. From December until May the gulf is closed by ice. The Taygonos Peninsula divides the northern part of the gulf into the bays of Gizhiga and Penzhina. The tidal ranges in these bays are about 36 to 43 feet (11 to 13 metres) and are among the greatest in the world, and there has been discussion of developing tidal power sites there, especially at Penzhina Bay. The gulf is named for the Russian merchant-explorer G.I. Shelikhov.

Milne Bay, easternmost inlet on the coast of the island of New Guinea, Papua New Guinea, southwestern Pacific Ocean. Milne Bay measures 30 miles (50 km) by 6?8 miles (10?13 km). The bay, which receives the Gumini River, has fertile south and west shores that support plantations. The north shore is steep and rugged. A small fishing industry harvests bêche-de-mer (sea cucumber) for export. The Spanish explorer Luis Vaez de Torres charted the bay in 1606. In 1873 the British navigator Capt. John Moresby named it for Adm. Alexander Milne. European interest in the area increased during the gold-rush years of 1889?99. Samarai, an island in the China Strait, became a boom town from which prospectors spread through the islands of Milne Bay and to the mainland. A base of Japanese operations early in World War II, the bay was the scene of Japan?s first major setback of the war in a battle fought in August 1942 and was an Allied base for the duration of the war.

Great Fountain Geyser

The Great Fountain Geyser is a fountain-type geyser located in the Firehole Lake area of Lower Geyser Basin of Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming. It is the only predicted geyser in the Lower Geyser Basin.

Eruption

The geyser erupts every 9 to 15 hours. Great Fountain's maximum height ranges from about 75 feet (23 m) to over 220 feet (67 m). Its duration is usually about one hour but durations of over two hours have been seen. The duration of an eruption affects the interval that will elapse before the next eruption, so that if the duration of an eruption is recorded, the time of the following eruption can be predicted to a precision of about two hours.

The prediction can be refined, to plus or minus 15 minutes or so, through observation of overflow from the crater during the period between eruptions. While this pattern of behavior is observed most of the time, there are occasional episodes of so-called "wild-phase" activity during which the eruptions are of greatly extended duration and intervals between eruptions may be as long as three days. The geyser is then unpredictable until wild-phase activity ceases and more normal eruptions resume.

Nearby White Dome Geyser, which erupts considerably more frequently (albeit less powerfully) from a large geyserite cone, is easily seen from the same parking lot that affords a viewpoint for Great Fountain. The thermophilic bacterium Thermus aquaticus, important because it produces an enzyme used in polymerase chain reaction laboratory procedures central to modern molecular biology, was first isolated from Mushroom Pool, a non-eruptive hot spring a few hundred feet from White Dome Geyser.

Comet Geyser

Elevation: 7,336 ft.

Comet Geyser is a geyser in the Upper Geyser Basin of Yellowstone National Park in the United States.

Comet Geyser is part of the Daisy Group which includes Daisy Geyser, Splendid Geyser and Brilliant Pool. As opposed to the other features in this group,

Comet erupts almost continuously. Every few minutes it surges to a height of 6 feet (1.8 m). This constant eruption has led to it having the biggest sinter cone of any of the geysers in this group. Comet might be interconnected with Daisy and Splendid Geysers, albeit to a lesser degree than Brilliant Pool. After an eruption of Splendid and sometimes after Daisy, the action of Comet slows but quickly returns to its normal level.

Comet Geyser was named by the Hague Party in 1904.

It is bounded on the south by Pamban Island (India), Adam?s (Rama?s) Bridge (a chain of shoals), the Gulf of Mannar, and Mannar Island (Sri Lanka). The southwestern portion of the strait is also called Palk Bay. The strait is 40 to 85 miles (64 to 137 km) wide, 85 miles long, and less than 330 feet (100 metres) deep. It receives several rivers, including the Vaigai (India), and it contains many islands on the Sri Lankan side. The port of Jaffna, the commercial centre for northern Sri Lanka, lies on the strait. The shoals and numerous islands long have limited transit through the strait to smaller vessels. In addition, periods of unrest in northern Sri Lanka have disrupted shipping across the strait between Sri Lanka and Tamil Nadu state in India.

It contains the four island clusters of the Buccaneer Archipelago, named for the buccaneer William Dampier. The largest of the islands are Koolan, Irvine (with extensive underwater iron deposits), and Cockatoo. Deposits of high-grade iron ore and other minerals are found on the islands. On Cockatoo, named after the white birds that abound there, hematite (an iron ore) has been mined since 1951; mining on Koolan began in 1965. Extreme tides on Yampi Sound make navigation difficult. The sound was named in 1838 by Lieutenant John Lort Stokes (who surveyed the coast aboard HMS Beagle) and derives from an Aboriginal word meaning ?freshwater.?

Beagle Channel, strait in the Tierra del Fuego archipelago at the southern tip of South America. The channel, trending east?west, is about 150 miles (240 km) long and 3 to 8 miles wide; it separates the archipelago?s main island to the north from Navarino, Hoste, and other smaller islands to the south. At its western end the channel splits into two branches that encircle Isla Gordon. The eastern portion forms part of the Chile?Argentina border, while the western portion lies entirely within Chile. The three islands at the channel?s eastern end, Picton, Nueva, and Lennox islands, were the subject of a territorial dispute between Chile and Argentina that began in the 1840s and which almost led to war between the two countries in 1978. The dispute officially ended on May 2, 1985, when a treaty awarding the three islands to Chile went into effect between the two countries. The Beagle Channel was named for the British ship Beagle, in which Charles Darwin explored the area (1833?34).

Magallanes
Straits in Magallanes

The Strait of Magellan comprises a navigable sea route immediately south of mainland South America and north of Tierra del Fuego. The waterway is the most important natural passage between the Pacific and the Atlantic oceans, but it is considered a difficult route to navigate because of the unpredictable winds and currents and the narrowness of the passage. Ferdinand Magellan (Portuguese: Fernao de Magalhaes), a Portuguese sailor in the service of Charles I of Spain, became the first European to navigate the strait in 1520 during his global circumnavigation voyage.

The strait is approximately 570 kilometres (310 nmi; 350 mi) long and about 2 kilometres (1.1 nmi; 1.2 mi) wide at its narrowest point (Carlos III Island, west of Cape Froward).[1] The northwestern portion of the strait is connected with other sheltered waterways via the Smyth Channel.

Castle Geyser

Castle Geyser is a cone geyser in the Upper Geyser Basin of Yellowstone National Park. It is noted for the particularly large geyserite sinter deposits, which form its cone. These deposits have been likened in appearance to a castle.

When the geyser was given this name in 1870, the top edges of the structure resembled the typical profile associated with the modern concept of a castle, having the appearance of a large keep, multiple turrets, and especially because of the crenellation along the top edges of what resembled its towers. As the drawing below shows the cone had distinctive appearance at the time. Over time the cone's shape changes because of the layers of mineral deposited in successive eruptions.

The Castle Geyser has a 10 to 12 hour eruption cycle. The geyser erupts hot water for about 20 minutes in a vertical column that reaches a height of 90 feet (27 m) before changing to a noisy steam phase that issues for 30 to 40 minutes.

Zuiderzee, English Southern Sea, former inlet of the North Sea. From the 13th to the 20th century, the Zuiderzee penetrated the Netherlands and occupied some 2,000 square miles (5,000 square km); it was separated from the North Sea by an arc of former sandflats that are now the West Frisian Islands. From about 400 ce these low-lying sandflats were inhabited by the Frisians, who in the face of rising sea levels built the first seaworks?dikes and terpen (or werden), mounds to which they retreated during periods of high water. The volume of these terpen ranks them among the great engineering works of humankind.

Peter the Great Bay, Russian Zaliv Petra Velikogo, inlet, Sea of Japan, northwestern Pacific Ocean, in the Maritime (Primorye) region of far eastern Russia. The bay extends for 115 miles (185 km) from the mouth of the Tumen River (on the Russian-Chinese border) northeast across to Cape Povorotny. The bay reaches inland for 55 miles (88 km) and contains the port of Vladivostok, which is situated on the Muravyov-Amursky Peninsula between Amur and Ussuri bays. The town of Posyet is on Posyeta Bay (southwest). The functioning of these harbours is severely limited by the freezing of the bay from early December to mid-April. Formerly (from 1855) known as Victoria Bay, the inlet was renamed (1859) to honour Peter I the Great.

It is the northernmost fjord to penetrate the Coast Mountains, which rise on its eastern side. The canal was named (1794) by Captain George Vancouver for his birthplace, King?s Lynn, England. Just south of Haines, the navigable canal divides into two inlets, the westernmost to the mouth of the Chilkat River, the easternmost through Taiya Inlet to the port of Skagway, terminus of the Inside Passage (Alaska Marine Highway) from Washington state. The canal is home to many fish and mammals, including humpback whales and northern, or Steller, sea lions.

Sembawang Hot Spring
Hot Springs in Little India

The Sembawang Hot Spring located at Gambas Avenue between Woodlands Avenue 12 and Sembawang Road, is the only natural hot spring on the main island of Singapore.It lies in a wooded area about 100 metres (330 ft) off the main road. The spring is believed by locals to have healing properties, and its water has been bottled commercially by Fraser and Neave, under the brand name of Seletaris. Since its discovery in 1909, the spring, now on land belonging to a military air base, has gone through several changes of ownership and abortive redevelopment plans. The hot spring is less frequented nowadays but remains a popular venue for weekend visitors.

Present Day
During its peak, up to 1,000 people visited the hot spring at weekends. On 1 March 2002, it was closed for two months while improvement works were carried out to the area around the spring, which had become sodden and muddy. Litter had also become a problem because of the large numbers of visitors.The former dirt track leading to the spring was paved, and lined with bougainvillea bushes and high fences to protect the security of the air base. Drainage pipes were also installed. Mindef, which owns the land, allows public access between 7 am and 7 pm daily, at no charge. When the spring reopened, on 1 May 2002, more than 100 people visited the site despite the afternoon drizzle.At the same time, new free-hold condominiums were built in the surrounding area; one of the developments, built by the property arm of F&N in 2001, is called Seletaris after the company's former mineral water.

In July 2005, a Business Times reader proposed that the relevant authorities should explore the possibility of tapping the geothermal heat that lies many miles under Sembawang—similar to the project in South Australia's Cooper Basin—in order to reduce Singapore's reliance on oil and gas. The proposal was not acted upon.As of 2008, the well can still be seen locked inside a red-brick enclosure with a steel gate, and its heat can be felt outside the building. Numerous plastic chairs, pails and makeshift tubs left by visitors are stored at the perimeter of the compound, which has a makeshift shed in one corner. Caretakers manage the site to ensure its overall cleanliness, although toilets are still lacking on the premises. The hot spring is less frequented nowadays but remains popular at weekends and on public holidays, when regulars and families visit.

Water Properties
According to local geologists, the exact source of the spring remains unknown, but it is believed that its origin may be southwest of its actual location, possibly at Bukit Timah.Hot springs are formed when underground water comes into contact with hot rock masses. The resulting high pressure causes the water to seep upwards through cracks, forcing itself out of the ground as a spring.

A series of tests conducted by the PSB Corporation and SGS Testing & Control Services found the spring water contains 420 mg of chloride per litre, an amount which is substantially higher than the 35 to 100 mg in the water from Choa Chu Kang and Bedok waterworks. It was also found that the sulphide content is three times more than tap water and the spring water is also slightly alkaline due to the presence of minerals. This led many to believe that the spring waters have health benefits and thousands flocked to the hot spring, in a search for cures for skin conditions like psoriasis and acne, as well as debilitating ailments like rheumatism and arthritis. Although local rheumatologists conceded that hydrotherapy is an accepted treatment that can be helpful for mild forms of rheumatism or muscle strain, they, along with dermatologists, remain sceptical of claims about the healing powers of the spring water.

Water bubbles continuously in the well, releasing a slightly unpleasant sulphur odour together with steam. The temperature of the spring water is around 131 °C (270 °F).In an investigation carried out by the Nanyang Technological University in 1994, the hot spring was found to have an estimated yield of approximately 150 litres (33 imp gal; 40 US gal) per minute at ground level through installed steel casings.

Gabon Estuary, French Estuaire Du Gabon, inlet of the Gulf of Guinea, in western Gabon. It is fed by the Como and Mbeï rivers, which rise in the Cristal Mountains to the northeast. The estuary is 40 miles (64 km) long and 9 miles (14 km) wide at its mouth. It was explored in the 1470s by Portuguese navigators who may have named it Gabão (?Hooded Cloak with Sleeves?; hence Gabon) because of its shape, and it was long considered the finest harbour of the West African coast.

Hardanger Fjord, inlet, southwestern Norway. The country?s second largest fjord and one of the most scenic, it extends inland northeastward for 70 miles (113 km) from Stord Island, at its entrance in the North Sea, to the Hardanger Plateau and has a maximum depth of 2,922 feet (891 metres). Majestic mountains (rising to about 5,000 feet), from which pour many magnificent waterfalls, notably the Vørings Falls and Skjeggedals Falls, flank the fjord?s clear waters. There are many smaller branch fjords, including Kvinnherads, Granvin, Sør, Eid, and Osa fjords. From Sør Fjord there is a magnificent view of Folgefonna Glacier. The area is frequented by tourists, and there are hotels at the principal stations. Along the fjord?s shores are salmon fisheries, electrochemical and electrometallurgical plants, boatbuilding yards, and furniture and other factories. There are mountainside orchards, and at Rosendal, near the mouth of Hardanger Fjord, stands one of the few baronial mansions in Norway, built (1660?65) by Baron Ludwig Rosenkrans.
