National Parks with Geysers: Global Hotspots

Geysers—hot springs that erupt periodically—are rare globally. Major concentrations occur in:

• United States: Yellowstone National Park (Wyoming) – ~500 geysers, including Old Faithful; Lassen Volcanic National Park (California) – several active geysers.
• New Zealand: Wai‑O‑Tapu Thermal Wonderland and Te Puia (both near Rotorua, North Island) – Pohutu Geyser erupts up to 30 m.
• Iceland: Geysir Geothermal Area (namesake of all geysers) and Haukadalur (Strokkur erupts every 5‑10 min).

Other isolated geysers exist in Chile, Russia (Kamchatka), and Japan.
