Officials say the 21-year-old man wandered away from the boardwalk area at Steamboat Geyser in Yellowstone's Norris Geyser Basin during his visit. According to the DOJ, the Steamboat Geyser is the world’s tallest active geyser and is "the most dangerous" geyser in the world.
"It has erratic and unpredictable eruptions that can rise anywhere from six to 300 feet high," officials said.
