The Geysers Geothermal Field near Clear Lake, California....

The Geysers Geothermal Field

Despite the name of the steam field, no natural geysers exist anywhere in the Geysers-Clear Lake area. The name was suggested to early explorers by the fumarolic activity and steam rising from hot springs in what later became the earliest developed part of the steam field.
