Fly Geyser, Gerlach, Nevada, USA
It
looks as if this psychedelic geyser was plucked from an alien planet and
plonked into the rugged countryside of Washoe County. But it was actually the
result of human activity. A geothermal energy company drilled here in the 1960s
and though the water they hit upon wasn’t hot enough for their purposes, they
failed to seal the site back up again. As a result, water spurts in all
directions from the hulking, rainbow mound, whose colors are the result of the
algae it's covered in.
