Description
Geyser Nora (Burrow) is located 10 m upstream from the Pink Cone geyser. Its channel resembles a hole going deep into a grassy slope (Leonov, 2017). It was first described by A. Raik (1963) under the name "Left Dwarf", but this name did not catch on. The name Nora was first used in the book by Sugrobov et al. (2009). Description of the regime from the book by Raik (1963): "Before the eruption, the channel is filled with water, which splashes out over its edges. The eruption consists of inclined outbursts over a distance of about 1 m. The cycles are very regular: about 9 minutes, the duration of the eruptions is 45-60 seconds." Nora is one of the few geysers in the Valley, the regime of which has not changed at all over more than 60 years of observations.
