The Geysir geothermal area is a well-known high-temperature geothermal area. And Geysir itself is one of the best-known geysers in the world and has given a name to other spouting hot springs around the world; geyser. In Icelandic, the term Geysir is derived from the verb gjósa, which means to erupt.
A geyser is a special type of hot spring that ejects hot water and steam intermittently. Essentially, it’s the water version of a volcano. Geysers need very specific conditions to exist. That’s why there are only a few places in the world that offers visitors the wonderful experience of seeing this phenomenon. One of these places and the first ever to discover this phenomenon is Iceland.
