Description

This rather small geyser is located 40 m downstream of the Geysernaya River from the Pink Cone geyser. It is located at an altitude of about 7 m on a steep grassy slope. Its location can be seen from the distance by bright yellow rocks altered by hot water located downslope from geyser. It was first described and named in 2015 by Alexander and Marina Belousov. During 10 years of observations (2015–2024), Belomor has a stable regime: it fountains up to 1.5 m for several seconds with period 10–15 minutes.
