Porcelain Basin was named for the whitish rock-sheet
that pulsates from the pressure of steam and boiling water beneath
them. A
number of geysers and other features here have been born suddenly in
small hydrothermal explosions. Some features are ephemeral, their
activity lasting a few hours, days, or weeks. A few others have
become relatively permanent fixtures in the scene.
