(2) Note that West Thumb Caldera ( 44°25′40″N 110°31′57″W / 44.4278°N 110.5325°W ) is not to be confused with West Thumb Geyser Basin ( 44°25′07″N 110°34′23″W / 44.41861°N 110.57306°W ). Per the US NPS , West Thumb Lake is itself a smaller caldera. See Figure 22 at US NPS web site . West Thumb Caldera forms West Thumb Lake, and West Thumb Geyser Basin lies on the western shore of West Thumb Lake. Source: w:US NPS . See also: |
