EDITORS COMMENTS
A captivating image from the early 1910s, this photograph showcases a dried geyser cone located in Hammam Maskhoutine, a thermal spa and commune in Guelma Province, Algeria. The commune, known for its natural hot springs and healing properties, is nestled in the northern part of the African country. The image reveals a remarkable geological formation, a calcified geyser cone, which stands as a testament to the area's unique geothermal activity. The cone, now dried and still, once spewed forth mineral-rich waters that would have formed a geyser. Over time, the constant deposition of minerals from the water created this intriguing rock structure. The photograph, taken around the turn of the century, offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the natural beauty and geothermal wonders of Hammam Maskhoutine. The commune, which has been a popular destination for visitors seeking relaxation and healing for centuries, continues to attract tourists and locals alike. The image, with its rich history and geological significance, is a reminder of the natural wonders that can be found in the diverse landscapes of North Africa. The calcified geyser cone, now a part of Hammam Maskhoutine's unique geological features, stands as a testament to the area's natural beauty and the passage of time. This photograph, captured over a century ago, invites us to appreciate the natural world and the wonders that lie hidden in unexpected places. The dried geyser cone in Hammam Maskhoutine, Algeria, is a reminder of the beauty and intrigue that can be found in the most unlikely of places.
