Warnings
always seem to be in English worldwide
|
The
geysers all have names
|
|
|
We can see an eruption
in the distance
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This
is the Geyser "Strokkur" which regularly erupts up to 90 ft with
only 8-10 minutes in between eruptions.
However, the eruptions
are very short, so it is not very easy to catch the column on
a photograph |
Waiting
for another eruption |
Hoping
for a view like this postcard |
|
|
Not
quite - we missed it |
|
|
|
|
|
|
There
is much more to explore |

Blesi
geyser is dormant but a beautiful blue spring pool. It activates
after earthquakes |

Another
eruption in the distance |
|
|
This
is the "great Icelandic Geysir" that once gave every Geyser in
the world its name
It began to erupt in the 13th century but became less active
during the last centuries
until 2 earthquakes shook South Iceland
in June 2000
New fissures were formed and for a while the Geyser was active
again
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
We
are in the right place for this eruption |

Another
geyser erupting - no people around but us
|
|
|
|
There
it goes again as we are ready to leave |
