Fly Geyser, Nevada

Fly Geyser in Nevada is a geothermal geyser in Nevada’s Washoe County on a private land. The Fly Geyser stands colorfully with a height of 5 feet (1.5 m) and width of 12 feet (3.7 m). The natural geyser throws hot spring of water to the nearby terrace pools of around 30. The deep underground pool and hot rocks combined with tectonic rifting and faulting is the source of this wonderful geyser. The brilliant colors of red and green on the geyser deposits are due to a thermophilic algae making it standout in this world. There are actually two geysers at the location where one was created around 100 years ago by drilling a well for the purpose of irrigating the desert-like surrounding. Another one was a human error.
