FLY GEYSER, NEVADA, USA The Fly Geyser shows us how accidents can create the most amazing wonders. Resembling something out of a fairytale book, the six-foot-tall geyser lives in the middle of the desert in Nevada. It was accidentally formed after the drilling of a well in 1916. In need of a natural water source, the residents of the area drilled the well and found out that the water was excessively hot, so it was of no use to them. Later, in 1964, a geothermal power company failed to successfully close a test well. With the exposure to air, nature took the reins and created the perfect environment for the beautiful hot spring that we see today. The calcium sediments emerging from the well produced the main mounts and the thermal algae, which thrives in hot environments, giving the spring its mesmerizing shades of green and red. 226
