Whirligig Geysers

The waters of Whirligig Geysers swirl in their craters.
Little Whirligig Geyser Erupting

Little Whirligig got its name because of its close proximity to Whirligig Geyser. Whirligig was so named because while erupting its water swirls in its crater. The orange-yellow iron oxide deposits around Little Whirligig make it one of the most colorful features in Porcelain Basin.  It has been dormant for several years.
