  Geysir

  The Geysir geothermal area is one of the main attractions in South Iceland. A hot spring called Strokkur erupts every couple of minutes sending a water column up in the air. If ready with your phone or camera you might be able to capture the beautiful blue bubble which forms on the surface just before the water bursts up in the air. Standing close to it when it happens is a spectacular experience. During this stop you can also have a walk through the hot spring area to explore some of the other hot springs and steam vents to be found there.
