Geysir
In this geothermal area are spouting hot springs. The Great Geysir began erupting in the 1300's and the noun "geyser" stems from it. It now only erupts on particularly engineered occasions. Every June 17, Icelandic Independence Day, tons of soap is poured in the Geysir causing an eruption.Nearby Strokkur erupts every 30 minutes in time for a photographic opportunity.
