Geyser Gazers
Haukadalur is a 6 km² / 2.3 mi² geothermal field frequently called #Geysir, although this is actually the name of just one of the 40+ features in this impressive valley.
This shot is of Strokkur, which typically erupts every 6-10 minutes to a height of 15-20 metres / 50-65 feet, although it can sometimes reach up to 40m / 130ft.
The word "geyser" comes from the Old Norse "geysa" meaning "to gush."
