#1 A geyser?
Geysers are quite rare, requiring a combination of water, heat, and fortuitous plumbing. The combination exists in few places on Earth. The five largest geyser fields in the world are[3]:

1. Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming, United States
2. Dolina Geiserov, Kamchatka Peninsula, Russia
3. El Tatio, Chile, South America
4. Taupo Volcanic Zone, North Island, New Zealand
5. Iceland, Europe

There used to be two large geysers fields in Nevada Beowawe and Steamboat Springs but they were destroyed by the installation of nearby geothermal power plants. At the plants, geothermal drilling reduced the available heat and lowered the local water table to the point that geyser activity could no longer be sustained. There are more individual geysers around the world, in California, Peru, Bolivia, Mexico, Dominica, Azores, Kenya and Japan, but no other large clusters.

I do not see Peshawar on that list.

#4 In Brit-speak, "geyser" also means a gas-fired hot water heater.

#6 I just like the idea of America, land of fortuitous plumbing. Hell I'd make a run for the border if it meant American Standard was on the other side.
