You have to see it to believe it! It’s something straight out of a Steven Spielberg movie. But this is not made in photoshop, it’s a real thing! It’s called the “Fly Geyser” and it is formed by a complete accident when a ranch owner drilled to find water in the Nevada desert.
Somewhere in the 20th century a desperate ranch owner drilled to find water and enrich the desert with agriculture, but when they drilled down to the water they stopped because the water temperature was 200 degrees! In 1964 there was a second attempt, but again to no avail because the water was smoking hot.
After the 2nd drill attempt to find water, they didn’t sanction the hole properly. The results from that mistake?! Shocking view!
The blazing water pressure pushes mineral and gas which forms an incredible pile that keeps on growing.
When you zoom back from the pile, you can spot an entire ecosystem as a result of the water pond. It even has small fishes and attracts several kinds of birds.
