Touring geothermal areas
... at 10:15 every day. You may ask, as I did, how does a geyser erupt every day at exactly the same time. The answer- they cheat. They drop a chemical called surfactant in to the geyser to start the reaction. This triggers the hot water lying below the cold water layer on top to start to break to the surface and get forced from the cone and shoot out about 15-20 metres.
