Geysir Geothermal Area
Experience bubbling mud pots, steam vents, and frequent geyser eruptions amidst stunning landscapes, complete with a modern tourist center and dining options.
The Haukadalur Valley is known for its geothermal activity, with an erupting geyser, bubbling mud pots, and steam vents scattered throughout the landscape.
The word “geyser” comes from the now mostly dormant Geysir, but the site is also named after it. Geysir would hurl boiling water and erupt almost 70 m (230 ft) into the air, but it has been years since it erupted last. It used to erupt regularly but stopped after a series of earthquakes. Instead, you can see its brother Strokkur erupt every few minutes. It isn’t as large as Geysir, but its eruptions can reach up to 30 m (98 ft).
Geysir Geothermal Area is surrounded by stunning scenery, with lush green hills, mountains, and colorful geothermal pools.
There is a vast tourist center with a good quality souvenir shop, many restrooms, and tasty food in a modern, Nordic-vibe restaurant.
