Show MapGeysir (sometimes known as The Great Geysir), in the Haukadalur valley, is the oldest known geyser and one of the world''s most impressive examples of the phenomenon. Nearby you also find the geyser Strokkur, which may be smaller than than Geysir but erupts much more frequently than Geysir, erupting to heights of up to 20 metres every five minutes or so. Strokkur''s activity has been affected by earthquakes, although to a lesser extent than the Great Geysir. There are around thirty much smaller geysers and hot pools in the area, including one called Litli Geysir (''Little Geysir'').
Is visited as part of the Full day Golden Circle Tour.
