geysir

Here it is, Geysir, the oldest known and now dormant geyser that lends its name to all the rest ("geysir" means "to erupt"). This one can still go if treated with soap.

The geothermal area is full of hot springs.

They smell strongly of sulfur, some more strongly than others.





























Strokkur was very active while we were there, going off every 3 or 4 minutes in a quick, impressive burst.
