 Old Faithful is a cone geyser located in Wyoming, in Yellowstone
National Park in the USA. Old Faithful was named in 1870
during the Washburn-Langford-Doane Expedition and was the first geyser
in the park to receive a name.Old Faithful is sometimes degraded by being made a laundry. Garments placed in the crater during quiescence are ejected thoroughly washed when the eruption takes place. Gen. Sheridan's men, in 1882, found that linen and cotton fabrics were uninjured by the action of the water, but woolen clothes were torn to shreds. |
