The Watch In the Cut (2003)famed Old Faithful geyser erupts into a clear blue sky in a new video taken on Dec. 18 and shared by Yellowstone National Park.
The steam shot forth by the geyser matches the snow blanketing the ground on the frigid winter morning this was filmed, with the cold, dry air causing a billowing cloud to condense and rise high into the sky.

Geysers are hot springs that occasionally (or regularly) boil over, shooting water high up into the air.
Before erupting, steam rises up through the geyser, eventually displacing the water above it, shooting it out into the air.
"This decreases pressure on the system, and violent boiling results," according to the park's statement.
"Tremendous amounts of steam force water out of the vent, and an eruption begins. Water is expelled faster than it can enter the geyser's plumbing system, and the heat and pressure gradually decrease. The eruption stops when the water reservoir is depleted or when the system cools."
Via GiphyYellowstone's Upper Geyser Basin plays host to Old Faithful along with about 300 other active geysers, according to the National Park Service.
Upper Geyser Basin is known as "the largest concentration of geysers in the world," the Park Service added.
