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.
First, there was the smell of rotten eggs; shortly thereafter, the sight of steam blowing over the landscape. I knew I had arrived and parked my car to visit the Geysir area. Here, you can find not only the mother of all geysers, but also other geysers, as well as hot pools, bubbly baths, and steam vents. Steam comes from the earth everywhere, which gives the place a special appearance. While I was walking up, I secretly looked ahead to check if the most active geyser of the area was already hurling its boiling water into the air.
