A small geyser in the lower right part of the Vitrazh (Stained Glass wall). It was first described by V.A. Nikolaenko, an employee of the Kronotsky Nature Reserve, in 1991 during an expedition to the Valley of Geysers of the American Geyser Observation and Study Association (GOSA) and was named in honor of this expedition — Gosha (the name played on the abbreviation GOSA). According to observations in 1991, eruptions occurred every 1–2 minutes to a height of up to 1 m (Bryan et al., 1991). The eruptions of Gosha became stronger after large eruptions of Grot. According to observations in 2024, the period increased to 3 minutes, and the height of the emissions decreased to 30 cm.
