Introduction
Geysir is the geothermal wonder of Iceland's Golden Circle, the very spring from which the word 'geyser' derives. The Great Geysir itself erupts only sporadically now, but neighbouring Strokkur blasts boiling water 20 metres into the air every few minutes amid steam. Boardwalks link colourful hot pools and mud pots — a vivid theatre of the Earth's inner energy.
