     It looks like a landscape from the early days of Earth, but this wonderful set of geysers are current, real, and located in a secret farm near Gerlach, Nevada, USA. It was formed by accident in 1916, when a drilling procedure was made in the spot. Several years after, hot water began to escape from a weaker wall and the geyser erupted, launching a hot water and steam column into the open air. The dissolved minerals, as well as bacteria, accumulated and ended up forming the mount where the geyser rises upon, like a mini-volcano. Nowadays, the waterjet can reach up to 5m high. Five meters of awesome, I would say!
