Soda Springs has the only man-made geyser in the world. It was discovered in an
attempt to find a hot water source for a swimming pool. On Nov. 30, 1937
the drill went down 315 ft. and unleashed the geyser.

The extreme pressure is caused by carbon dioxide gas mixing with water in a
subterranean chamber. It is now capped and controlled by a timer.

Every hour on the hour.
