View Original Description
Tardy Geyser is a shallow, blue pool with rims of geyserite around the small vent at the middle of the pool. Outside of the geyserite rim, shallow water collects and orange thermophiles grow along the runoff channels. Tardy Geyser is part of the Sawmill Complex and likely gained its name from its record of activity right after a Sawmill Geyser eruption.
Tardy Geyser has an average temperate of 173.1°F (78.4°C), an average pH of 8.2, and an average conductivity of 2220 uS/cm.
