The geyser Vosmerka (Eight) was in the upper part of the Valley, 60 m above the waterfall Igrushka. It had a shape of truncated cone 2 m high located at the height 8 m above the river. At the top of the cone, two merged round griffins formed a "figure eight", the eruption occurred simultaneously from both holes. It was first described in 1951 by G.A. Gonsovskaya, and a little later by T.I. Ustinova. Before the eruption, water poured out from the top of the cone during 0.5 minutes. Then geyser started to erupt in jets up to a height of 2-4 m during about 1 minute. The full cycle varied from 20 minutes to 1 hour over many years. In 2014, it was buried under landslide deposits.
