Giantess Geyser Erupting

Jets of water and steam shoot high into the air as Giantess Geyser erupts in the Upper Geyser Basin of Wyoming's Yellowstone National Park, early on the morning of January 30, 2014. The geyser was bathed in sunlight, which made the erupting jet contrast strongly with the dark storm clouds in the distance.
