Geysir is a geyser situated in southwestern Iceland. It is renowned for its uniquescience of eruptions and calls itself the “First Known Geyser to Modern Europeans” as it has been observed since ancient times due to its perpetual boiling water activities and its tremendous heights of up to 70 metres when erupting. From its earliest records in 1294, locals have observed changes in landscape due to earthquakes in the area, forming interesting patterns of new hot springs. Despite becoming dormant in years after 1916, Geysir roared back to life in 1935 due to man made experiments, and its current eruption frequency can reach up to 8 times per day with every eruption an exciting event to watch!
