About a foot above water level and a meter south of the existing fracture/spouter, steam was visible in the morning at the farthest end of the depression, in warmer afternoon one could see tiny blips in the water closer to Jetsam in the depression. In other news Jetsam was full and in overflow with slight convection. |

The vent in the center on the south side of Jetsam (above full pool water level) was sputtering to 6-8". Not as much of an 'eruption' as seen on my last visit-but could be worth watching. I didn't make it back there to see it again. Be sure to look there when you drop into Porcelain. |

Erupt-y vent on the south side, with little splashes to about 1 foot. If you look at Jetsam as elongated roughly East-West, the splashy erupting vent was roughly in the middle of that south side. |

4/6/1998 - no time noted - Lots of interesting things going on in Porcelain Basin... We have a new thermal feature! A high pressure, super heated steam vent has broken out on the rim of Jetsam Pool. This vent is part of a large group on the side towards Jetsam and several in the runoff of Ledge. The temp is 97.8 C at the vent and the steam is pretty high pressure. Ledge is in a quiet mode. There has been some kind of change in the water though. The growth in the runoff channel is very new. There is also some interesting deposition near the vent. |

June 1970 - no time - Jetsam must be getting heat that was at Ledge Geyser last year. Jetsam has changed from a placid green-blue pool to a gray muddy geyser-like spring. The geyser activity has thrown water up to 10 & 15 feet into the air- much muddy water has been put into the drainage, from the Porcelain Basin. [NOTE no date included in Thermal Record ~ EOM] |
