Geysir & Strokkur are both fountain type geysers in the geothermal area in western Iceland. Geysir, also known as the Great Geysir, was the inspiration for the well-known word geyser that is used for all others across the world. At this moment Geysir itself is dormant. But next to Geysir you find Strokkur, which is more active than Geysir ever was. It usually blows water about 15 to 20 meters into the air every 5 to 10 minutes. It’s a very impressive phenomen to witness on your journey around Iceland.
