The terraces are near the hotel, and the tourist will have no difficulty in finding his way over them. The principal ones are Minerva, Mound, Pulpit, Jupiter, Angel, Cleopatra, and Hymen. Near the southwest end of the terraces is the Devil's Kitchen--a cave which may be visited. Another peculiar rock formation beyond the Devil's Kitchen is the mass of travertine known as the White Elephant. Upper Geyser Basin The Upper Geyser Basin contains more active geysers than all the other geyser regions in the world. Several days might well be spent roaming among the geysers and observing the varied phenomena. The more important ones are listed in the table on page 439. ------------+--------+---------------------+----------------------------- _Geyser_ |_Height_| _Duration of | _Interval_ |(_feet_)| eruption_ | ------------+--------+---------------------+----------------------------- Artemisia | 50 | 10 to 15 minutes | 24 to 30 hours | | | Bee Hive | 200 | 6 to 8 minutes | 3 to 5 times at 12-hour | | | intervals following | | | Giantess | | | Castle | 50-75 | 30 minutes | 24 to 26 hours: quiet 4 to | | | 7 days, then plays 3 or 4 | | | times at intervals stated | | | Cub, large | 60 | 8 minutes | With Lioness | | | Cub, small | 10-30 | 17 minutes | 2-1/2 hours | | | Daisy | 70 | 3 minutes | 85 to 90 minutes | | | Fan | 15-25 | 10 minutes | Irregular | | | Giant |200-250 | 60 minutes | 6 to 14 days | | | Giantess |150-200 | 12 to 36 hours | Irregular; 5 to 40 days | | | Grand | 200 | 15 to 30 minutes | Irregular; 1 to 2 days
