It was a geyser, which later became known as the "Firstborn".Today, on the territory of almost 7 square kilometers there are more than 20 large geysers. Each geyser has a name, character, periods of sleep and wakefulness, each one unique and each has its own "life", the rhythm eruptions.Some geysers spew fountains of boiling water and steam every 10-12 minutes, others erupt once in 4-5 hours.

At the height of a nine-storey building in one minute 30 tons of water spewing the largest geyser valley "Giant", and the geyser "Triple" to its name gush of steam from the three holes. Geyser "Firstborn" throws a jet of hot water directly into the river, increasing the temperature. Geyser "Sugar" sparkles in the sun rainbow crown and geyser Fountain shoots up a squirt. Jet geyser "Crystal" sparkle like a precious rock, silent years "Grotto", to suddenly bring down the slope into the river dozens of tons of muddy water and the geyser "Goblin" on the contrary, very "talkative" - "oohs" and hooting in polupodvalom condition. The irreality of this place complement hundreds of gushing springs, hot and warm lake water and acid lakes, thermophilic algae, streams, waterfalls, erupting from the ground gas-vapor stream, boilers boiling red clay.
