Now you can have the pleasure of watching Yellowstone National Park's Old Faithful Geyser in glorious high definition, real-time, streaming video from a
live webcam. You have to be patient but the eruption is quite spectacular when it comes, and the webcam also zooms in on several other geysers in the area when they are erupting.
A bonus is that you also get to see bison, elk, coyotes, or the occasional bear, when they wander into view.
