[Geysers] new Kamchatka geyser

[TSBryan at aol.com]

>From Universal Press syndicate:
 
"Observers monitoring a unique geothermal area in Russia's Far East were  
startled by the sudden emergence of a new geyser that has been dubbed  
"Prikolny," translating as "peculiar" from the Russian language. The new geyser  
is the first to appear on the Kamchatka Peninsula since the 1960s. A ranger 
at  the kronotsky nature Reserve was the first person to spot the column of 
boiling  water, which shoots up to 10 feet into the air. Shortly after that 
sighting,  another observer exclaimed, "Prikolny!," leading to the geyser's 
official name.  Prikolny emerged about nine miles from the world-renowned 
Valley of  Geysers."
 
that is but one of several online report. National Geographic has a video  
at this address, in which the narration includes a number of errors (such as 
 that the last new geyser to appear in Yellowstone was in the early 20th  
Century):
