About Fly Geyser

One of the most surreal geothermal features on Earth—a man-made geyser that has grown into a technicolor mound of mineral deposits spewing hot water into terraced pools. Now owned by Burning Man Project, guided tours reveal this otherworldly landscape of neon greens, reds, and oranges created by thermophilic algae.
