It was a quiet evening in the campsite in Geysir. I imagined laying in bed hearing the geyser blow off every 8 minutes, but we couldn\u2019t hear it despite being only 200m away. Had a chat to an English couple we were parked near for a while. It was their first night in Iceland and they were busy coming to grips with being in a very small rented camper, for the next two weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The morning starts with Pam walking up the hill overlooking Geysir and gets a few photos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have some breakfast and walk up the track to the geothermal field. There is a well formed track through the park and lots of danger signs here and there. The site has a dozen or so hot-pots of crystal clear water bubbling and steaming away, then there are the two geysers. The largest is called the Great Geysir, it is currently dormant. It still bubbles and makes noises but that\u2019s about it. The smaller of the two is Strokkur, it does go off with a bang seemingly every 5-8 minutes. Geysir literarily translates to gusher in Icelandic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sorry about all the youtube videos but geysers like waterfalls are best animated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
