World’s Only Moving Geyser and its Path of Destruction - Visiting the Niland Geyser
Just north of Niland, California is the Niland Geyser, an oddity of science believed to be the world’s only moving mud pot or mud volcano. Near the Salton Sea, where Niland is located, mud pots or geysers aren’t very out of the ordinary, but this one is.
The Niland Geyser first appeared in a field in 1953, and there it stayed for over 60 years, until, for some reason, it started moving around 2015. At first the geyser only moved by about 20 feet per year, then it sped up. In its path was a rail line, then California State Route 111.
Despite their best efforts, the railroad was unable to stop the Niland Geyser from destroying the train tracks in 2019, and now it has reached Highway 111.
In this video we travel to the Niland Geyser to take a look at it’s current position and the state of the road.
