Fly Geyser

Gerlach, Nevada

Technicolor man-made geyser creating alien-like calcium formations in Nevada desert.

Fly Geyser is an accidental geothermal wonder created when a well was improperly capped in 1964. Minerals and thermophilic algae have created rainbow-colored terraces and continuously erupting water spouts, forming an otherworldly landscape on private land now open for tours.
