Geysir, Iceland

Geysir, Iceland

The amazing Geysir area in Iceland. This geothermal field in Haukadalur lies on the outskirts of the neovolcanic zone from which it is drifting, and is therefore gradually becoming a low-temperature field.

There is no evidence of recent (holocene) volcanism in this area and the bedrock appears to have been formed subglacially towards the end of the glacial period. At only a short drive from the capital Reykjavik, it is worth taking the time to visit.
