Earth's Spectacular Sprinkler System
The product of subterranean volcanic activity, geysers are a unique form of hot spring that intermittently discharge spurts of water, (and often steam as well) high into the air.
Though only around 1000 geysers remain worldwide, they can be found in large numbers in specific areas of the US, New Zealand, Chile, Iceland and Eurasia, and witnessing an eruption is a truly unique, and spectacular experience!
