Yellowstone Geysers & Hot Springs. In Yellowstone National Park there are about 500 geysers and some 10,000 thermal features. Yellowstone contains the majority of the world's known geysers. The geysers and other features are major attractions. Old Faithful geyser is perhaps the park's best know and most visited attraction. Many lesser-known geysers are equally impressive and can be seen along park roads or at the end of short hikes.
A man is presumed dead after falling into a hot spring at Yellowstone National Park Tuesday, park officials said. Witnesses saw a man in his early 20s walk off the boardwalk in the Norris Geyser Basin area and fall into the thermal spring about 225 yards away. Rangers said the man probably died because he hasnât been located and searchers are being extra cautious because of the springâs dangerous thermal features.
