The Fly Geyser is a little known attraction, even to the people of Nevada, where it was created; yes, created, accidentally in the 1916 drilling of a well.

It is currently located on a small private ranch, and currently, access to this wonder is not allowed, even though numerous organizations have tried to make it public domain. The geyser has a complex mineral composition, including sulfur dioxide, which gives it its amazing colours.
