Contradictory eruption interval ranges across infobox, lead, and body

The article gives three mutually inconsistent ranges for the interval between eruptions, with no reconciliation:

  • The infobox lists the frequency as "44 to 120 minutes".
  • The lead paragraph states the period ranges "from as short as 35 minutes to as long as 120 minutes".
  • The Eruptions section states "Intervals between eruptions have ranged from 34 to 125 minutes".

The lower bound alone takes three different values (44, 35, and 34 minutes), and the upper bound takes two values (120 and 125 minutes). At least two of these figures must be wrong or outdated. The article should cite a single authoritative source and use consistent figures throughout, or explicitly explain any historical versus current distinction.
