Geysir on Postcard

"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."

Absolutely beautiful! It's hard to describe the views that you can see when geyser erupt! It's definitely worth to see Natural beauty and the powerful eruption of hot water to go up to the sky!

This place is amazing. In our opinion, it was the best stop along the Golden circle tour. At the entrance you may find a big parking lot, a cafe and a shop, as well as free toilets. Definitely recommend stopping here if you happen to be in the Reykjavik area.

This is a must-visit in Iceland. It’s fun watching the steaming pools and Strokkur erupts every few minutes(this is the only one that erupts). Another fun part is watching people holding their phone still waiting for it to erupt. I heard that there are thieves around, but didn’t notice any. It’s always better to keep an eye on your belongings though. The visitor center is also pretty nice with a restaurant and a huge souvenir store.

As a geographer and an educationalist it's always a pleasure to get up close to a natural wonder. Ones that are easily accessible are all the more brilliant- allowing the masses to experience and explore and learn about them. This place offers accessibility to the wonder of tectonics and geothermal power that Iceland is formed from. Many spaces here allow observation of the eruptions but patience is required amongst the crowds to witness larger flumes of water and steam. Lots of well-maintained paths allow for the enjoyment of the surrounding nature.

A bit overcrowded but wonderful place to witness the wonder of geothermal power. Many place to observe the eruptions. Patience is rewarded with a big flume of water and steam in the air. Nice park, well maintained trails to take in a hike and enjoyed the nature. Beware of selfie sticks with aggressive amateurs wanting to include their mugs in the eruptions.

Highly recommended if you want to see and experience the powerful elements of Icelandic nature. Beautiful walking terraces too. Expect to spend 30-60 minutes there and 0kr entrance fee. But, local restaurant is very pricey!

The Geysir area in Iceland is just mind-blowing! You’re standing there watching steaming pools and bubbling vents, and then suddenly – BOOM! – Strokkur (the star of the show now that Geysir itself is mostly dormant) erupts every few minutes, shooting boiling water up to 30 meters (around 100 feet) into the air. It’s like nature’s version of fireworks, only way more thrilling because you’re so close to it. The whole area smells a bit like sulfur, but it’s part of the experience, adding to that “I’m on another planet” vibe. Plus, the landscape is so dramatic and beautiful, with surrounding mountains and geothermal pools all around. Geysir’s one of those “only-in-Iceland” moments that’ll have you pulling out your camera, but you’ll want to put it down too – just to watch the magic unfold! There is a restaurant and shop there where you can warm up, take a break or use the toilet.

Neat geyser that is unfortunately, very crowded. Self-sticks abound here, so pick your spot and get ready for a short blast of hot water, which you can hopefully photograph without someone's cell phone probing your shot.
