It began in the early twentieth-century when the ranch owner drilled a well to raise the quality of the agriculture. But when they had drilled the whole way down to the water they stopped because the water temperature was 200 degrees. In 1964 there was a second attempt. It also failed because the water was too hot.

After the 2nd drill attempt to find water, they didn’t sanction the hole properly. The results from that mistake?! Shocking view!
The blazing water pressure pushes mineral and gas forming an incredible pile that keeps on growing.

The water ponds have formed its own ecosystem below the geyser. Here you have small fishes and several kinds of birds.

The sci-fi formation looks bizarre (in a good way) when you look at it from a different perspective. The minerals react with the airs oxygen and the sun. The result? Spectacular view of an alien-like rocks.

Though several people offered to buy the land and make it a tourist attraction, the owners want to keep the uniqueness untouched by human hand. The magnificent self-formed ecosystem is surrounded by fences.

The landlord is usually kind and guide the tourists that visit the area. But first you have to get in contact with them to get in. The price for a guided tour differ from time to time.
