Подробнее о видео

Deep beneath the Earth, something is gearing up to explode! It shoots boiling hot liquid up into the air as high as 160 m (525 ft) feet. No, these aren't volcanoes. They're geysers. Usually, people stay hundreds of meters away from geysers, but what if we got a bit closer and jumped right into one?
What makes these geysers so hot? What's inside of them? And how would your body react if you fell into one?
