Steamboat Geyser erupts 27th time in 2018 breaking decades-old record

The Steamboat Geyser in Yellowstone National Park broke decades-old records when it erupted for the 27th time in 2018 Thursday.

Yellowstone National Park reports this is the most active year for the geyser in decades as the geyser erupted 26 times was in 1963.

According to the U.S. Geological Survey, the geyser erupted at 11:04 a.m.

Over the past few weeks, the geyser has been following a semi-regular pattern of erupting about every five to seven days.
