Geysir, Jun 18th

Next stop in my big Iceland adventure was Geysir. This is a small park with some trails around a couple of geysers and bubbling pools. Right from the parking lot you can see the water vapor emanating from the ground, but the biggest attraction is a couple of geysers that shot up in the air every few minutes.

I started walking towards Strokkur, the most active and regular of geysers as it went up, to then continue towards some of the pools. Even though you can see steam and some bubbling these are not active or as regular. It was still incredible to see the color of the water and how deep they go

From there, I took a path to the top of a Lupine covered hill that opens views to the entire area and far beyond.

Then, on my way down, I decided to jut sit with the camera and wait for the Strokkur to go up. It was quite fascinating to see the water bubbling up and down as it heated up and then abruptly bubble up and explode leaving an empty hole behind.

Most of the water comes back don to the same pool but some of it runs down the hill leaving sediments behind that look like the surface on another planet
