Again interesting knowledge gained thanks to Andrew, the answer to #536 took me to Medicin Lake in Canada where the Maligne River disappears underground.
The next one is a bit odd, have a nice search on this one!
By the way: Schott rule applied!

Fly Geyser, Nevada, 40°51′34″N, 119°19′55″W, is a man-made small geothermal geyser, only about 5 feet (1.5 m) high, by 12 feet (3.7 m) wide. The Geyser is not an entirely natural phenomenon; it was accidentally created by well drilling in 1964 exploring for sources of geothermal energy. The well may not have been capped correctly, or left unplugged, but either way dissolved minerals started rising and accumulating, creating the travertine mound on which the geyser sits and continues growing. Water is constantly released, reaching 5 feet (1.5 m) in the air. The geyser contains several terraces discharging water into 30 to 40 pools over an area of 74 acres (30 ha). The geyser is made up of a series of different minerals, but its brilliant colors are due to thermophilic algae. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fly_Geyser]
