"Located aboutan hour northeast from Reykjavík and part of the famed Golden Circle tour (along with Gullfoss), the Geysir hot springsarea consists of arounda dozen hot water blowholes, including the eponymous Geysir. The Strokkur blowhole is the most popular, principally because it regularly(every few minutes, usually) spouts its boiling water up to 100 feet into the air. It’s still worth looking around at the other pools, even if they haven’t erupted for years or even decades, since they usually offer interesting colors and bubbling geothermal activity. The site also hasa hotel, souvenir shop, café, and a related exhibition."
