Geysir

Water gushing out of the ground is an amazing natural phenomenon, where boiling water under pressure gushes violently upwards up to several tens of metres.

Geysir is the true original of all the geysers around the world, first mentioned in 1294.

Geysir is currently dormant, he was active between 17. a 20. June 2020, when the water reached a height of up to 122 metres. Geysir was last active in the summer of 2009.

Fortunately, there is another geyser in the area – Strokkur. It is active approximately every 6 minutes.

Geysir is easily accessible literally a few dozen meters from the parking lot and is part of the famous route called the Golden Circle.
