What to expect
Geysir is a geyser in southwestern Iceland that has been forming since around 1150 CE. It is located in the Haukadalur valley on the slopes of Laugarfjall lava dome, near the Strokkur geyser. Geysir can erupt boiling water up to 60 meters in the air, but eruptions are nowadays infrequent and have stopped altogether for many years at a time. The area is known for its geothermal activity, and changes in the activity of Geysir and the surrounding geysers are strongly related to earthquake activity

Highlights: We enjoyed watching Strokkur erupt. The geyser was an impressive sight. We also liked the Blesi spring. The steam and the various hot springs were fun to watch ✨
