Best The Great Geysir Tours in Spring

Considered the first geyser known to modern Europeans and where the term geyser comes from, the Great Geysir in Southern Iceland forms the Golden Circle with Thingvellir and Gullfoss. Though it has been active for nearly 10,000 years, the Geysir erupts much more infrequently than its neighbor Strokkur. However, its highest recorded height is 70 meters (229 feet), topping Geysir's height of 60 meters, and on average it fountains higher than Strokkur.
