Fly Geyser

Fly Geyser falls inside a private property called the Fly Ranch in Nevada. There are several geysers of all sizes and forms in the area known as the Hualapai Geothermal Flats, but this one stands out due to its unusual appearance. It is a large, brightly colored, almost comical edifice constructed of cones that protrude from the Earth and have numerous streams of hot springs gushing out of them. Even though it is almost entirely man-made, it appears to be something from an extraordinary space fantasy movie.

The geyser was artificially made in 1916 for agricultural operations, though its water was found to be unsuitable. When nearby geysers were discovered that were superior, it was abandoned. The water continued to find a way to the surface even if the geyser was still formally cut off. Calcium carbonate, which was deposited at the site as a result of the water's high mineral content, eventually grew into a vibrant, 10–12 foot tall cone.

Then, in 1964, a drilling business made the decision to dig there for hot water, but once more, it was determined that it was inappropriate. Although there were many more fresh vacancies than previously, the site was abandoned. Numerous new cones at the location have improved the structure's appearance throughout the years, and it appears that the process is still ongoing.
