  We investigate the different boiling r\'egimes around a single continuously
laser-heated 80 nm gold nanoparticle and draw parallels to the classical
picture of boiling. Initially, nanoscale boiling takes the form of transient,
inertia-driven, unsustainable boiling events characteristic of a nanoscale
boiling crisis. At higher heating power, nanoscale boiling is continuous, with
a vapor film being sustained during heating for at least up to 20 $\mu$s. Only
at high heating powers does a substantial stable vapour nanobubble form. At
intermediate heating powers, unstable boiling sometimes takes the form of
remarkably stable nanobubble oscillations with frequencies between 40 MHz and
60 MHz; frequencies that are consistent with the relevant size scales according
to the Rayleigh-Plesset model of bubble oscillation, though how applicable that
model is to plasmonic vapor nanobubbles is not clear.
