The main geyser of Iceland, which gave the name to all geysers, Geysir

The geyser is a famous hot spring in the geothermal area of ​​the Haukadalur Valley, discovered in the southwest of Iceland.
The geyser is one of the highlights of Iceland's world-famous Golden Circle route, along with Thingvellir National Park, Þingvellir and the powerful Gullfoss waterfall, Gullfoss. The geyser is best known for giving its name to geysers around the world.
A geyser (the name comes from the Icelandic geysa - gush) is a hot spring that periodically ejects fountains of hot water and steam under pressure to a height of several tens of meters. Geysers are one of the manifestations of volcanic activity.
Other manifestations of volcanic activity are mud pots (pits of bubbling mud), fumaroles (holes in the ground from which steam and smoke come out) and hot springs.
At certain intervals, boiling water erupts from the geyser (the frequency of eruptions can vary from several minutes to several years). With a roar, a huge column of boiling water, shrouded in thick clouds of steam, flies up in a large fountain, scattering at a height sometimes up to 80 m.
