The world's largest geyser has exploded for the first time since 2005 at Yellowstone National Park.

The high-pressure burs of steamy water shot up 200 feet into the air according to Reuters.

The stream of 160 degree water released on the night of July 31, and lasted approximately 10 minutes.

"There are a lot of people who wait hour after hour, day after day, for things to erupt," said Dan Hottle according Reuters, one of the many people who has waited years to see the show.

Yellowstone visitors could wait a lifetime to see the Steamboat Geyser erupt, which has gone 50 years before between eruptions.

Yellowstone stretches between Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming. It is the oldest and arguably best known U.S. national park.

Major eruptions at Yellowstone can occur thanks to pressure cookers according to Reuters. They're supposedly caused when cold water from snowmelt and rain meet "underlying rock liquefied by heat."

"The ground shakes and you can hear it from several miles away. It sounds like a jet taking off," Hottle said according to Reuters.

Geyser eruptions can often be mistaken for earthquakes by Yellowstone visitors.

Yellowstone attracts approximately 3 million guests a year according to Reuters.
