Yellowstone launches streaming webcam of Old Faithful

YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK, Wyo. — Yellowstone National Park has launched a live, streaming webcam focused on the Old Faithful area.

The real-time webcam provides full motion video of Old Faithful Geyser, as well as other geysers located on Geyser Hill.

A five-minute audio message plays with the live video stream, providing information about various hydrothermal features in the park.

Viewers may also observe wildlife and park visitors as they wander into the range of the webcam.

Park officials caution that the streaming webcam is still experimental, especially in the harsh environment of a typical Yellowstone winter, and may not work at times.
