Crystal Geyser erupts an average of once per day without any schedule, so seeing it erupt is pure luck. When I visited two people had camped there for 15 hours and hadn't seen anything.
My intent was not the eruption (that would have been a bonus) but more the landscape and the mineral landscape that has formed around the site.
Laguna Colorade - Bolivia.
The different colours white, yellow and green are caused by different minerals in the water. The red is from algae.
In the Snæfellsnes penisula one can find some large springs with mineral water.
C2O and different minerals bubble up with the water. This one is my fabourit. Tastes nice, but it gets flat wery fast so you can take a bottle with you, but dont keep it long.
Taste of the water is dffferent from a well to well but in general the water shall be very healing - even modern reacearch support that. Even though the most famous wells are in Snæfellsnes, they can be found many places near active volkano systems
Here is some more about the fizzing wells

Orange-Barred Sulphur and other butterflies eating minerals on river bank in Manú National Park.
Mud-puddling, or simply puddling, is a behaviour most conspicuous in butterflies, but occurs in other animals as well, mainly insects; they seek out nutrients in certain moist substances such as rotting plant matter, mud and carrion and they suck up the fluid. Where the conditions are suitable, conspicuous insects such as butterflies commonly form aggregations on wet soil, dung or carrion. From the fluids they obtain salts and amino acids that play various roles in their physiology, ethology and ecology.

Unfortunately, going back through my photo archives, I can't recall where I took this, or what the rock is / minerals are. Any geologists out there who can help me identify this? Thanks. Whatever it is, I find it to be astoundingly beautiful and wondrous. (Hence my wondering....) ;-)

Es una piedra mineral, fotografiada de cerca, con utilizando los tubos de extensión, el problema es enfocar bien, pues la distancia de enfoque es corta y es complicado sin un trípode.
It is a mineral stone, photographed up close, with using extension tubes, the problem is to focus well, because the focus distance is short and complicated without a tripod.

This is a shot of a Sleepy Orange sulphur butterfly mineralling. If you look closely you can see the proboscis leading into the ground. Although no one really knows for sure it seems that the butterfly is drawing up minerals from damp ground that has a lot of salt in it. This shot was taken in an area that has a lot of runners and horses, all of which produce a lot of salt through perspiration and such. This behavior is also known as "puddling". Only certain species are known to do this, and it's just the young males of the species. I've included a shot of some different sulphurs puddling.

Bonneville Salt Flats near Salt lake city in Utah. It had rained and there was water instead of salt. But still it looked more mineral than anything I have seen
