The geyser, located in Wyoming, historically erupted two to six times per year
The national park said Tuesday that Giantess Geyser, one of its large geysers, “roared back to life” after more than six and a half years of dormancy.
The Giantess Geyser, which is located in Wyoming, historically erupted two to six times per year, according to the National Park Service (NPS).
