One of America's most spectacular landmarks, Fly Geyser was made completely by accident. In 1964, a geothermal power company drilled a test well in Fly Ranch, Nevada, but apparently failed to properly seal off the hole. Boiling water soon burst from the well, starting the formation of calcium carbonate deposits — which built up over time, turning into the three massive, cone-shaped mounds that now form what's known as Fly Geyser. By the time the public became able to visit this surreal landmark in 2018, the formation had grown to be about 30 feet tall, with each of its kaleidoscopic cones reaching about six feet high.
