The image is a black and white photograph of a geyser erupting in a barren landscape. The photograph is divided into two sections, with the left side showing a group of people standing on the ground and the right side showing the same area. The ground is covered in dirt and debris, and there are trees and hills in the background.

In the center of the image, there is a large amount of steam or steam rising from the ground, creating a hazy, misty effect. The steam is white and billowing up into the air. The sky is overcast, and the overall mood of the photograph is somber and desolate. The image appears to be from the early 20th century.
