Welcome to the Geysir Geothermal Area, one of Iceland’s most famous natural attractions. Although the original Geysir is mostly inactive today, it gave its name to all geysers around the world. The main attraction here is Strokkur, which erupts every 5–10 minutes, sending hot water up to 20–30 meters into the air. This geothermal area is powered by Iceland’s volcanic activity beneath the ground. Please stay on the marked paths, as the water is extremely hot.

This is Gullfoss, one of Iceland’s most famous and powerful waterfalls. It is fed by the Hvítá River, which comes from Langjökull, Iceland’s second-largest glacier.

Gullfoss means “Golden Falls,” and it is one of the highlights of the Golden Circle tour.
