"Something odd is going on in Yellowstone National Park. Geysers that would once erupt every half-century are now spouting steam every week.

And, late last year, one slumbering geyser — dubbed Ear Spring — vomited up 80 years worth of trash. The spring’s last big blow was in 1957.

So, when it blew to a height of some 29 feet in September, National Parks officers spent days collecting old coins, beer cans and even a 1930s baby dummy from its surroundings.

“An approximately 8-foot diameter area of surrounding ground is ‘breathing’ — rising and falling by about six inches every 10 minutes,” USGS researchers said."
