If you ever wondered where the word geyser comes from, your answer lies in Iceland, where you can find Geysir. In fact, you can find more examples of geothermic activity in the area.
The Great Geysir is the famous example of an eruption of boiling water caused by seismic activity. Its activity is not regular, though, and has changed over time. From time to time, it is activated again by earth quakes, but it can also have periods in which it stops erupting altogether. It looked very dormant during my visit. Fortunately, there are also hot pools, and holes in the ground filled with boiling water. Together with the fascinating activity of Strokkur, this makes for an exciting visit. If there is a place in Iceland where you can clearly see the very active and restless character of the country, this is certainly a clear example.
