Mertie West stands in the foreground at right. She faces towards the distance at center; her back faces slightly right. She watches as a geyser in the near distance at center erupts. A large cloud of steam rises from the geyser alongside spouting water. Beyond the geyser, a walkway passes through the image on a slight upward angle from right to left. Further in the distance, another geyser at right, behind Mertie, vents steam that wafts towards the left. Pines line a low hillside in the far distance.
