Geysir

We next went to Geysir, the geysir after which all others are named.

Unfortunately, the original 60 metre Geysir doesn't erupt regularly anymore, so we had to make do with the nearby 20 metre Strokkur ("Butter Churn") geysir. This erupts every 8 minutes, and was still a very impressive sight.
